Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Global greenhouse gas emissions continue to rise, despite increasing calls to reduce carbon emissions and avoid the most damaging impacts of climate change. Moreover, fossil fuels remain relatively inexpensive and will likely continue to be an important energy source for a growing world population for the foreseeable future. Given the monumental task of stabilizing atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations, we must explore all available options for reducing greenhouse gas emissions including “Carbon Sequestration”.
Carbon sequestration is an evolving area in geoscience with the potential for scientific breakthroughs, and one that will become increasingly important as the concentration of atmospheric CO2 rises. This Special Issue of Geoscience aims to advance the science of “Carbon Sequestration” towards enabling society to make informed decisions on the technical, environmental, economic, and social merits of carbon sequestration strategies. This special issue explores all aspects of carbon sequestration relating to the capture, transportation, storage, and conversion of CO2, as well as interdisciplinary studies involving policy or economics relating to carbon sequestration. Recognizing the diverse nature of carbon sequestration strategies and technologies, we invite contributions that discuss fundamental processes and emerging strategies, field, laboratory, and modelling studies including, but not limited to, geologic CO2 storage, mineral carbonation, carbon mineralization, enhanced weathering, biological approaches, use of industrial wastes, ocean-related approaches, and geoengineering strategies.

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 1500 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.
