Land, Geosciences Research and Application

Dear Colleagues,

Geosciences research and applications are of crucial interest in science and many areas of modern life. For this reason, exchanging knowledge in various relevant areas is essential for development in scientific, engineering and programming activities. The Special Issue aims to highlight the importance of joint research of experts in these fields and provide a platform for knowledge exchange between various aspects of land studies and their application in science, technology and practice. The goal of this Special Issue is to collect papers (original research articles and review papers) which address connection and interdependency between land and other parts of environment, including atmosphere, space weather, lithosphere, hydrosphere and biosphere. The Special Issues will include studies which deal with the environmental problems related to natural resources such as water, air and soil, their quality, degradation, and protection. Natural hazards will be also analysed in term of their causes, consequences, prevention and mitigation as well as their impacts on land. Geoinformation technologies and their application in land research will be also subject of the Special Issue.

This Special Issue will include a selection of papers based on presentations at the International Conference on Recent Trends in Geoscience Research and Applications (https://geoscira.wixsite.com/2023) that will be held in late October 2023. Other contributions unrelated to this event will also be considered for publication in this Special Issue.

The Special issue will welcome manuscripts that link the following themes:

• The atmosphere and the land
• Surface and ground waters and land
• The lithosphere and the land
• The biosphere and the land
• Geoinformation technologies
• Natural hazards and the land
• Environmental issues
• Soil physics and chemistry
• Space weather and the land

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. Land 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 2600 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.
