Redox Processes and Characterization of Contaminated Soil, Groundwater, and Aquifer Sediments

Dear Colleagues,

Characterization of the redox state of subsurface systems in time and space often underpins site contaminant transport and fate models and factors into the design and development of sustainable remediation strategies. This Special Issue will explore aspects of redox characterization in soil/groundwater/aquifer systems. Emphasis is placed on common redox-sensitive groundwater contaminants, such as chromium (Cr), arsenic (As), and uranium (U) and redox-sensitive elements that influence contaminant behavior, such as iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), and sulfur (S). Contributions will utilize lab-based, field-based, and modeling studies to provide insight on how redox-sensitive species are mobilized, attenuated, and/or impact other co-contaminants in subsurface systems.

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. Soil Systems is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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.
