Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Topic is a continuation of the previous successful Topic “Green Mining, https://www.mdpi.com/topics/G09CLY8PTX”. Mining is a basic industry which helps to advance social development and national economic construction. In the overall process of mineral resource exploration and development, a scientific and orderly form of mining is implemented where disturbance to the ecological environment around the mining area is managed within a controllable range. It is therefore of great significance within mining to realize environmental ecology, scientific mining methods, efficient utilization of resources, digitization of management information, and harmony between mining communities.

This research Topic aims to provide a platform for new research and recent advances in green mining technology. To promote the development of green mine construction, we encourage the submission of high-quality original research papers, including, but not limited to, the following topics:

  • Safe and sustainable mining;
  • Mineral resource management;
  • Intelligent mining technology;
  • Mining equipment;
  • Geomechanics and geophysics;
  • Rehabilitation of mine sites;
  • Human–machine–environment systems;
  • Green exploration in mines;
  • Mine safety and personnel health;
  • Harmless treatment of solid waste in mines.

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:

  1. Share your research immediately: disseminate your ideas prior to publication and establish priority for your work.
  2. Safeguard your intellectual contribution: Protect your ideas with a time-stamped preprint that serves as proof of your research timeline.
  3. Boost visibility and impact: Increase the reach and influence of your research by making it accessible to a global audience.
  4. Gain early feedback: Receive valuable input and insights from peers before submitting to a journal.
  5. Ensure broad indexing: Web of Science (Preprint Citation Index), Google Scholar, Crossref, SHARE, PrePubMed, Scilit and Europe PMC.
