Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, “New Insights into Marine Geology”, covers a broad spectrum of topics on the subject of the marine geology, inviting authors to publish marine geological studies both from Mediterranean areas and extra-Mediterranean areas. In particular, I invite seismo-stratigraphic studies, collecting new research in the field of seismic and sequence stratigraphy in coastal and marine environments. I also welcome tephrostratigraphic studies performed on gravity and piston cores, aimed at individuating volcanic stratigraphic markers in marine successions. Sedimentological and stratigraphic studies on quaternary marine deposits of delta, shelf and slope environs fit well with the proposed issues. Geochemical proxies would enrich previous methods, giving indications on pollutants in coastal areas and corresponding threats. Marine geological mapping and IODP expeditions results will also be suitable for this volume. The examination of marine hazards in coastal and marine sectors will result as a further elaboration of the methods proposed in this Special Issue. Review papers, including full reviews of specific topics in the field of marine geology, are also suitable for this Special Issue, including paleontological, biostratigraphic and palaeoecological studies.

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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
