Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The aim of this Special Issue is to present the excellent women researchers in the field of Earth sciences and geography. In particular, we would like to focus on issues concerning the natural fluids emitted from the Earth. Huge amounts of natural fluids are continuously transferred from the Earth’s interior toward the surface environment, especially in volcanic and active tectonic areas. Indeed, volcanoes are a direct path which allow the ascent of fluids from the Earth’s interior; likewise, tectonic structures are channels with high permeability through which the deep fluids (mantle and crustal) can reach the surface. In this framework, natural fluid emission has played an important role in the realm of seismic and volcanic studies as well as in the mitigation of gas hazard-related risks. The release of fluids, however, is not limited to areas with recent volcanism since natural fluid accumulations in the crust can also occur in regions far from recent volcanism; hence, also in these contexts, the study of the fluids emitted can provide valuable insight. Further, natural CO2 emissions are a substantial portion of the carbon emitted in the atmosphere, and as a consequence, they are considered a basic relevant topic in the study of global CO2 budget estimates.

We invite researchers to submit original manuscripts focusing on natural fluid emission from diverse fields including, but not limited to, the following: 1) geochemical characterization and description of fluids emitted (e.g., isotopic and chemical data) in several geodynamic contexts; 2) monitoring of fluids emitted in volcanic and active tectonic systems; 3) interaction and fractionation processes of deep fluids in a sub-surface environment (e.g., groundwater and lake); 4) deep fluids and volatile reservoirs; 5) role of fluids in seismogenic processes; 6) environmental impact of natural fluid emissions; 7) global budget and modeling of CO2 emissions. We also welcome papers focusing on techniques, methods, and applications related to natural fluid investigations.

Contributions in which women are the first author or the corresponding authors of the manuscripts are strongly encouraged.

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. Applied Sciences 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 2400 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.
