Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Volcanology and tectonics are intimately connected in various geodynamic settings on Earth. Tectonics often represent the primary cause of volcanic manifestations, and the dense network of faults and fractures it produces in the crust serves as a preferential pathway for the ascent of magma to the surface. It has been clearly demonstrated how volcanism can develop in different contexts regardless of their compressive, extensional, or strike–slip regimes. Therefore, the study of structural configurations, its temporal variations, and the various interrelations between faults and the Earth's surface is of significant interest in the field of volcanology and in defining volcanic risk.
A volcano-tectonic approach, by its multidisciplinary nature, requires the integration of different study techniques to understand the relationships between tectonic, magmatic, and volcanic processes in a specific crustal sector. The goal is to consider each context as a whole without compartmentalizing them into distinct and separate processes. This is an epistemological consideration regarding how we seek to understand the dynamics of the Earth, particularly those that have a major impact on the Earth's surface and our lives. This analysis is necessary due to the complexity of the systems and the contrast between the high level of detail achieved in each subject and the need for integration into a coherent view. The challenge is therefore to seek complex models that explain the correlations and interactions among various aspects to provide a unified interpretive framework.
In this Special Issue, we aim to select works that present recent results in understanding the dynamics of active volcanic and magmatic systems in relation to tectonics, integrating various methodologies (geophysical, geochemical, remote sensing, etc.).
Both the description of new case studies and methodological descriptions, with a particular focus on the use of artificial intelligence, are of interest to this collection.
We look forward to receiving your original research articles and reviews.

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. Geosciences 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 1800 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.
