Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The relatively new field of complex systems is rapidly evolving, finding applications in all types of natural, artificial and social systems. Typical examples include the different components of the Earth system, such as the atmosphere, biosphere, cryosphere, lithosphere, oceans, the near-Earth electromagnetic environment, etc., as well as their interaction. Since “controllable” laboratory conditions are not possible in a study of the Earth system, one has to rely on an analysis of the time series of any available (ground-based or remote sensing) observables and corresponding modeling of the underlying non-linear processes involved. This renders complex systems time series analysis and modeling methods particularly useful for the study and understanding of the physics of different geomagnetic, climatic and lithospheric phenomena, particularly in the study of extreme events (e.g., earthquakes, magnetic storms, rain storms, etc.) and their precursors. Finally, the scale-free nature of some of these phenomena, e.g., fractures at different spatial scales, permits the extraction of interesting information about geophysical-scale phenomena by studying the corresponding laboratory-scale phenomena by means of the same methods.

The aim of this Special Issue is to is to highlight the research topic of complex systems time series analysis and modeling for geoscience and to collect original contributions on this topic. Researchers are encouraged to present the most recent developments in both theoretical and experimental studies aimed at understanding different non-linear phenomena of the complex Earth system and its components, while laboratory-scale studies, where applicable, are also welcome.

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. Entropy 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 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.
