Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the past decade, melt inclusions and crystal zoning patterns have been widely recognized to provide valuable geochemical and petrological information. Melt inclusions are used to characterize mantle heterogeneity, the geochemical composition of the magma source, mantle oxidizing conditions, and composition of fluid addition in the mantle. Measurement of volatiles in melt inclusions also allows estimation of minimum pressure of entrapments and characterization of magma degassing. Modeling of trace elements compositions in melt inclusions or zoned crystals provides valuable information about crystal and melt inclusion formation, melt transport, and time scale of transport and cooling. Studies using melt inclusions and crystals continuously benefit from the improvement of in situ instrumental techniques, and new challenges and debates arise.
This Special Issue encourages submissions of studies that (a) bring new understanding on small- or large-scale magmatic processes and/or (b) that constrain their associated timescales. We invite papers with new exciting petrological, geochemical, experimental, and modeling data in melt inclusions and zoned crystals. Articles on new or improved in situ analytical technics and development of new isotope systems on small objects are welcome.

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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
