Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are very happy to announce that the Special Issue “Petrophysical and Mechanical Properties in Geoheritage and Geosites” is now open to submissions.
Understanding petrophysical and mechanical properties in Geoheritage and Geosites is fundamental for their preservation and conservation, as well as for developing sustainable management strategies for their protection and promotion and to increase their resilience.
This Special Issue focuses on presenting innovative studies, methods, multidisciplinary approaches and practical application technologies for the analysis of petrophysical and mechanical properties within the context of Geoheritage and Geosites.
The scope of this Special Issue is not limited to the petrophysical or mechanical characterization of geomaterials used for constructions or foundations, but includes stability analyses, prevention and mitigation measures, and planning processes involving Geoheritage and Geosites.
Case studies and field investigations, preservation and conservation techniques,and modeling and simulation for predictive insights are important topics for providing useful information and answering questions for holistic and interdisciplinary approaches in Geoheritage and Geosites management.
We welcome original research articles, reviews, and technical notes that align with the scope of our Special Issue and contribute to the understanding and advancement of this field.
We look forward to your submissions!
Yours faithfully,
Dr. Gioacchino Francesco Andriani
Prof. Dr. Eduardo Antonio Gomes Marques
Prof. Dr. Emilio Velloso Barroso
