Scope
The world of Earth Sciences, considering the interactions within the geosphere and between the geosphere–biosphere, is a place in which a large number of scientists find and have found over time their own relationship or sector of application, precisely because it is absolutely transversal to many disciplines and subdisciplines, which do not necessarily fall within the Geosciences. The objective of this Series is to welcome original scientific contributions both in consolidated contexts and in new frontiers of research, as well as review papers, included in the various disciplines of Earth Sciences, but above all, those that show a modern and transversal vision of applications and impacts on the community in a particular historical context, which, following the COVID-19 pandemic, has shifted global attention to sectors that were previously more neglected. In particular, those of mining research and fossil and renewable energy sources, of environmental geology and the sustainable use of natural resources and impacts on the built environment, land consumption, geoarchaeology, forensic geology, geotourism/geoheritage, georisks and climate and environmental changes, considered at different scales, up to new applications of geostatistical and geospatial analysis, GIS and artificial intelligence for the definition of forecasting models and scenarios in various sectors of basic and applied research.
