Special Issue "Advances in Geosciences"

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue of the Geosciences Journal (ISSN 2076-3263) is dedicated to the publication and discussion of research articles, letters, reviews, and communications on all aspects of the Earth and Planetary Sciences and technologies that provide insights into and address challenges in the Earth system. This comprises the solid earth, the atmosphere, the hydrosphere, and the biosphere, as well as related topics in the planetary and space sciences. In addition, it will provide an advanced forum for contributions on Earth history, natural hazards, geology-related environmental problems, and geoethics that reflect the wide scope and societal, educational, cultural, and, in general, human implications of the cross-cutting nature of these issues. Manuscripts for this important Special Issue of Geosciences will be accepted by the editorial office, the editor-in-chief, and editorial board members by invitation only.
