Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

With the increasing demand for resources and energy, mines and underground spaces have been receiving more and more attention, with efforts to undertake the safe and effective development of underground space, promote the sustainable utilization of underground resources, and adopt more economical and intelligent development processes. These activities involve complex thermal, hydraulic, mechanical and chemical phenomena that require investigation by laboratory experiments, numerical simulation, field monitoring, and artificial intelligence.

The aim of this Special Issue is to attract original research and review articles with a focus on coupled thermal, hydraulic, mechanical and chemical phenomena as related to underground safety and green mines. Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following areas:

  • Green mines
  • Geothermal energy
  • Underground safety
  • Underground development
  • Underground transportation
  • Underground ecology
  • Underground environment
  • Underground utilization
  • Carbon geosequestration
  • Underground energy storage
  • Underground gas storage
  • Underground hydrogen storage
  • Underground waste utilization
  • Artificial intelligence

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. Mining is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1000 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.
