Groundwater Thermal Monitoring and Modeling

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue aims to explore the impact of rock thermal conductivity and paleo-geothermal field distribution on the groundwater thermal environment. We invite original research, reviews, and technical reports on topics including, but not limited to, rock thermal conductivity measurement methods, evaluation of prospects for geothermal resource exploitation, and the relationship between deep rock heat production rates and terrestrial heat flow.

We welcome submissions from experts and scholars in the fields of geology, hydrogeology, environmental science, and related disciplines to contribute to the latest advances in groundwater thermal monitoring and modeling, with a focus on geothermal resource development and environmental protection.

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. Water 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 2600 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.
