Hydrogeophysical Methods and Hydrogeological Models

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to invite you to contribute to a forthcoming Special Issue titled “Hydrogeophysical Methods and Hydrogeological Models”, to be published in Water. This Special Issue aims to highlight innovative research that bridges the gap between hydrogeophysical data acquisition and hydrogeological modeling. Despite substantial progress in geophysical techniques for subsurface characterization, their integration into predictive, quantitative models of groundwater systems remains a key challenge. This Special Issue seeks to foster interdisciplinary approaches that combine field measurements, computational techniques, and conceptual advancements to enhance the reliability and utility of hydrogeological models.

We welcome original research articles, methodological papers, and field-based case studies. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Development and application of hydrogeophysical methods;
• Integration of geophysical data into groundwater models;
• Coupling of geophysical data with groundwater flow and transport models;
• Inversion techniques and uncertainty quantification;
• Time-lapse monitoring and data assimilation;
• Case studies in groundwater management and environmental remediation.

This Special Issue seeks to foster interdisciplinary dialog and showcase cutting-edge research that pushes the boundaries of how hydrogeophysical tools can inform and transform hydrogeological understanding. We look forward to receiving your contributions and to showcasing impactful work at the forefront of hydrogeophysics and hydrogeology.

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. 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.
