Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recent technological advancements in applied geophysics have significantly enhanced our ability to accurately image and comprehend the Earth's characteristics and processes. A key aspect of geophysical exploration is the new paradigm of aiming at reducing the environmental impact of exploration activities. These changes have impacted all exploration domains, such as mineral, hydrocarbon, groundwater, environmental, hydrogen, and geothermal.
Thus, this Special Issue aims to provide a platform for exchanging and discussing new knowledge about the future of geophysical exploration. It focuses on developments in all geophysical methods that are currently used. We especially welcome submissions of interpretative case studies, the development of new methodologies, and the integration of strategies. We have divided the themes into three sections:
- Section 1—Developments in forward and inverse modeling algorithms.
- Section 2—Developments and case studies in mineral, hydrocarbon, hydrogen, and geothermal exploration.
- Section 3—Developments and case studies in hydrogeological and environmental studies, including carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) and energy storage.
Contributions to this Special Issue from the geophysical community are invited, and we hope to collate insights and ideas that will enrich our research area and be of significant interest to our readers.

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.
