Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The current Special Issue titled “Applications of Modern Mathematical Methods in Geosciences” is devoted to the publication of the latest research, theoretical developments, and analytical methods in different fields of geosciences. This Special Issue publishes the novel developments in the research using advanced mathematical and applied physics tools, including modern mathematical structures (group theory, graphs and networks, fractals, topology, and fuzzy structures), modern modeling methods (e.g., nonlinear dynamic systems, game theory, cellular automata, complex systems, and artificial intelligence), and modern inverse methods (e.g., multi-criteria decision making, artificial intelligence, and modern optimization and meta-heuristic algorithms) in different areas within the earth sciences, such as remote sensing, automated petrography, fractal analysis, analytical methods in fracture mechanics and rock engineering, reservoir modeling and fluid mechanics, slope stability and ground control, acoustic emission and induced seismicity, earthquakes and wave propagation in the earth, mining and rock blasting, tunneling and rock drillability, tribology, geophysics, and geomechanics.
The focus of this Special Issue is the development of advanced analytical and computational methods used for solving problems in any field of earth and geosciences. Articles submitted to this Special Issue can also address the most important recently conducted artificial intelligence, optimization algorithms, hybrid intelligent systems, and their applications in the area of earth-system modeling, as well as the physics and mechanics of solid earth. In recent years, there has been an increasing interest in the use of such advanced mathematical tools to model and predict the non-linear behaviour of earth systems and geo-materials under different conditions. We invite researchers to contribute original research and review articles that will encourage and expand the continuing research efforts concerning the applications of recent analytical, computational, and intelligence methods to assess/solve mathematical problems in any field within geosciences.

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. Mathematics 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 2600 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.
