Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue seeks to provide a comprehensive overview of the main advances in the field of sedimentology and stratigraphy. Sedimentology analyses the processes of formation, transport, deposition, and diagenesis of sediments and sedimentary rocks. Stratigraphy, based on the use stratigraphic principles, explores how sediments and sedimentary rocks are accumulated in the diverse sedimentary environments widespread from marine environments to continental areas. Consequently, sedimentary rocks are recorders of the Earth’s ancient surface and its related evolution through space and time.
The main aims of the Special Issue will consist of bringing together research that studies sedimentological and stratigraphic data using advanced techniques, methods, and models with the goal of discussing wider contemporary implications. The Special Issue will cover topics concerning facies analysis, the processes of fluid transport, and petroleum geology, and links between erosion, deposition, climate, and tectonics.
Contributions from researchers worldwide that tackle key questions or comprehensive reviews of the current state of the art in sedimentology and stratigraphy are welcome.
We sincerely invite you to be part of this collaborative endeavor.
Dr. Roberta Somma
Dr. Sabatino Ciarcia

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Geosciences is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1800 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
