Tectonic Geomorphology in Modern Orogenic Zones

Dear Colleagues,

The present-day landscape, especially in tectonically active regions, is the result of the interaction between tectonic and atmospheric processes, climatic change, as well as depositional and erosional processes acting in different timescales, from days to millions of years. Today, tectonic geomorphology involves data and methods derived from geomorphological, neotectonics, paleo-seismological, geodetical, remote sensing and stratigraphical studies in combination with geochronological tools.

We invite papers exploring the relationship between landscape evolution and tectonics, potential topics including studies regarding the landscape evolution and response in tectonically active regions, morphotectonic studies using innovative techniques, paleo-seismological investigations in active faults, remote sensing analyses, morphometric studies and other multidisciplinary approaches contributing to better understanding the impact of active tectonics in both terrestrial as well as coastal environments.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
