Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue will gather cutting-edge research and innovative methodologies in the field of gravity, magnetic, and electromagnetic (GME) geophysical data interpretation, emphasizing its crucial role in mineral exploration and understanding crustal structures. The focus includes, but is not limited to, advancements in gravity, magnetic, electrical, and electromagnetic methods. We seek submissions that highlight the integration of these geophysical techniques to enhance mineral exploration accuracy and efficiency. Studies that provide new insights into the interpretation of GME geophysical data for mapping geological features, identifying mineral deposits, and understanding tectonic processes are particularly welcome, although contributions in the form of original research articles, reviews, and case studies may cover a broad range of topics, including the following: case studies demonstrating successful applications of GME geophysical methods in mineral exploration, innovative approaches to data processing and interpretation, theoretical advancements in GME geophysical techniques, and submissions exploring the interdisciplinary integration of GME geophysical data with geological and geochemical information to create comprehensive mineralization system models. Your contributions will not only advance the scientific understanding of GME geophysical methods but also provide valuable insights for practical applications in mineral exploration and crustal structure investigation.

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. Minerals 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 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.
