From Earth to Innovation: Modern Trends in Mining, Geoinformation, and Geoscientific Applications
Topic Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Topic aims to compile scientific contributions presented at the “XXV Conference of PhD Students and Young Scientists: Interdisciplinary topics in Mining, Geology and Geomatics” (CPSYS), taking place from 14 to 16 October 2025 in Wroclaw, Poland.
CPSYS was developed by young geoscientists from the Wroclaw University of Science and Technology for young geoscientists all over the world. For 25 years, the Faculty of Geoengineering, Mining and Geology at WroTech has provided a platform for PhD candidates navigating geology, mining, geoengineering, geoinformation, and work safety to share their findings with peers. Topics covered during the previous editions of CPSYS are as follows:
- Mining:
- The digitalization of mining;
- The protection and use of post-mining areas;
- Underground mining;
- Opencast mining;
- The processing of minerals and mining waste;
- Mining machinery;
- Mining transport;
- Economics in mining;
- Health and safety;
- Mining aerology;
- Mine ventilation and air conditioning;
- Sustainable mining.
- Geology:
- Geology;
- Hydrogeology;
- Extraterrestrial raw materials;
- Groundwater and healing waters;
- Geotourism.
- Geoengineering:
- Environmental protection;
- Geotechnics;
- Geomechanics;
- Natural hazards.
- Geoinformation:
- Mining geodesy;
- Geographic information systems;
- Photogrammetry and remote sensing;
- Geodata modelling.

Preprints.org is a multidisciplinary platform offering a preprint service designed to facilitate the early sharing of your research. It supports and empowers your research journey from the very beginning.
MDPI Topics is collaborating with Preprints.org and has established a direct connection between MDPI journals and the platform. Authors are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity by posting their preprints at Preprints.org prior to publication:
- Share your research immediately: disseminate your ideas prior to publication and establish priority for your work.
- Safeguard your intellectual contribution: Protect your ideas with a time-stamped preprint that serves as proof of your research timeline.
- Boost visibility and impact: Increase the reach and influence of your research by making it accessible to a global audience.
- Gain early feedback: Receive valuable input and insights from peers before submitting to a journal.
- Ensure broad indexing: Web of Science (Preprint Citation Index), Google Scholar, Crossref, SHARE, PrePubMed, Scilit and Europe PMC.
