New Concept of Using Geophysical Data in Mineral Exploration, Depth Estimation and Structural Mapping

Dear Colleagues，

Mineral exploration and prediction have long underpinned the growth of human communities, organizing not only the sites of civilizations but also the shape of economic and political institutions.  The struggle for mineral exploration has been a large driver of research over the years. Scientists tend to develop and explore programs, methods and new strategies that can decipher the system of mineralization, in order to generate program systems for the exploration of ore deposits.

The use of geophysical data to explore mineral resources with contemporary and advanced approaches is of global appeal. My Special Issue aims to publish novel and new applications of potential field data in mineral exploration, edge detection, depth estimation and structural mapping that can help detect, predict and explore the locations and geometry of surface and subsurface mineral deposits.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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. Minerals is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
