This special issue belongs to the section “Environmental Sustainability and Applications“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is a pleasure to invite you to contribute to this Special Issue addressing Sustainable Environmental Reclamation: Landscape Planning and Design. The state-of-the-art in reclamation has grown and evolved from surface mine origins, to address landscape transformations of dysfunctional environments to more useful settings in a sustainable manner. This Special Issue features research across this spectrum in the social, natural, and engineering sciences and the planning and design arts. Articles that describe reclamation research on surface mines, brownfields, greyfields, and other disturbed conditions, such as from landscape catastrophes are encouraged. Case studies concerning actual projects are also welcomed. This Special Issue in this open access journal is an excellent opportunity to feature one’s scholarship, reaching many corners of the world.
