Thermal History Modeling of Low-Temperature Thermochronological Data

Dear Colleagues,

The thermal history modeling of low-temperature thermochronology has been more and more widely applied in geological research such as cooling history, exhumation history, and landscape evolution. However, there are still many problems in thermal history modeling, including theory, methods, and application. Therefore, analysis of the principle of thermal history modeling and acknowledgement of the traps in thermal history modeling processes are urgently needed. This Special Issue plans to give an overview of the most recent advances in the field of thermal history modeling and their applications in diverse areas. This Special Issue aims to provide selected contributions on advances in the theory, methods, and applications with regard to the thermal history modeling of low-temperature thermochronology.

Potential topics include, but are not limited to: Algorithms for thermal history modeling; introduction of thermal history modeling programs; traps in thermal history modeling processes; experience in modeling thermal history; application of thermal history modeling; future perspectives for thermal history modeling.

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. Minerals 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 2400 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.
