Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Under global environmental change and sustainable development background, research has been highly concerned with resource and environmental issues. Geostatistics provides essential theories and methods to analyze the spatial distribution of geographical data. It has been extensively applied in resources and the environment because of its higher applicability and effectiveness.
In terms of its application in resources and the environment, geostatistics is mainly used to reveal some natural phenomena or spatial/spatiotemporal processes of environment properties (soil properties, air pollutants, meteorological properties, water pollutants, etc). In addition, geostatistics methods can also be combined with geographic information system (GIS) analysis and remote sensing (RS) data to explore other resource and environment problems, such as driving mechanisms of air/soil/water attributes, spatial cluster analysis of pollutants, and spatial/spatiotemporal simulation with higher accuracy.
This Special Issue will focus on geostatistics methods and their applications in resources and the environment. This Special Issue calls for research articles, reviews, and case studies at the regional and global scales, and submissions may cover but are not limited to, the following topics:
- Innovative or improved geostatistics methods;
- Spatial/spatiotemporal modeling of environment properties;
- Uncertainty assessment;
- Spatial/spatiotemporal mapping and pattern analysis;
- Air/soil/water environment quality assessment.
This Special Issue aims to publish new ideas and improved geostatistics methods or frameworks and applications, and to expand the application of geostatistics in resources and the environment.

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. Sustainability 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.
