Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Marine geophysics utilizes a range of techniques, including gravity, magnetic, electrical, and artificial seismic methods, in order to study the various physical properties of the ocean floor, such as its composition, temperature, and magnetism. This research is crucial to the study of the geological evolution of the ocean floor and to exploring the natural resources beneath the seafloor. Surveying the structural composition of the subsea medium is a challenging and strongly nonlinear inverse problem, regardless of the method used. Realizing the global optimal solution requires efficient and high-quality data acquisition technology, a high-fidelity data processing method, a robust inverse problem optimization algorithm and an efficient computer implementation algorithm. This Special Issue is dedicated to solving the problems related to the accurate inversion of geophysical parameter models of sub-seabed media using marine geophysical data.
This Special Issue welcomes research on topics that include, but are not limited to, the following areas:
- Novel marine geophysics and seismic data observation instruments, methods, and observation systems.
- Novel marine geophysical and seismic data processing methods.
- A novel high-fidelity and high-efficiency robust geophysical and seismic inversion method.
- The application of artificial intelligence in marine geophysical inversion.
- The application cases of marine geophysics in marine geoscience research and the exploration of marine natural resources.

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. Water is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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.
