Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to attract original high-quality papers covering recent advances in the broad field of fluid storage in the subsurface. Topics of interest include underground gas storage, geologic carbon sequestration, hydrogen storage, geologic nuclear waste disposal, wastewater disposal, enhanced hydrocarbon recovery, and geothermal energy production. Papers on geological carbon sequestration can include reservoir pressure management, prediction of CO2 plume migration, mineral trapping, residual trapping, basalt mineralization, and other issues associated with CO2 injection in saline aquifer, depleted oil/gas fields, and coal seam. Research in hydrogen storage in salt caverns or interbedded salts will be accepted for review. Papers can cover fluid–mineral interactions, multiphase transport modeling, fracture flow, reactive fluid flow, petrological influence, and geomechanical response (such as fracturing, fault reactivation, and surface uplift). We seek original research that utilizes experimental techniques, computational modeling, analytical approaches, geologic material characterization applied to subsurface storage of fluids and multi-disciplinary integrated studies. Papers are encouraged to describe the application of the research within the context of techno-economic decision making. Our goal is to compile a Special Issue that encompasses the broad field of subsurface fluid storage, summarizes the state of the art, and places subsurface fluid storage in the context of the 21st century energy transition.

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.
