Special Issue on Applied Geophysics

Geophysics is the physics of the Earth and its environment in space; and study the Earth using quantitative physical methods. Geophysics is applied to societal needs, such as mineral resources, mitigation of natural hazards and environmental protection. Geophysical survey data are used to analyze potential petroleum reservoirs and mineral deposits, locate groundwater, find archaeological relics, determine the thickness of glaciers and soils, and assess sites for environmental remediation.  The goal of this special issue is to provide a platform for scientists and academicians all over the world to promote, share, and discuss various new issues and developments in the area of applied geophysics.

In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original research and review articles on exploring applied geophysics. In this special issue, potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Application of geophysics
• Geophysical technology
• Mineral physics
• Regions of the Earth
• Structure of the Earth
• Magnetosphere
• Space probes

Authors should read over the journal’s For Authors carefully before submission. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal’s Paper Submission System.

Please kindly notice that the “Special Issue” under your manuscript title is supposed to be specified and the research field “Special Issue - Applied Geophysics” should be chosen during your submission.

According to the following timetable:
