Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We cordially invite you to submit your manuscripts about your recent research or case studies related to multidisciplinary approaches and methods applied to the detection of Late Quaternary faultings and historical seismicity.
Detailed field mapping of active faulting is essential for improving fault databases with the aim of mitigating seismic risk. The implementation of accurate fault mapping is particularly important in areas where geodetic or seismologic evidence of active tectonics contrasts with poor knowledge of active faulting from surface geology. In the Apennine chain and in active tectonic zones, the interaction between field geology, structural geomorphology, stratigraphy, quaternary sciences and archaeoseismology studies is key for the detection of active faultings and for understanding their Late Quaternary evolution.
As Guest Editors, we cordially invite you to submit original research articles, technical notes, communications, and reviews on case studies detailing the key points listed above, including but not limited to:
- Field geology and mapping;
- Structural geomorphology;
- Geophysical methods applied to fault detection;
- Archaeoseismology;
- Seismic hazard, ground motion records and prediction;
- Quaternary geology;
- Intermontane basins and active tectonic zones.
We also encourage you to send a brief abstract outlining the purpose of your research and the key results obtained, in order to verify at an early stage that your manuscript falls within the objectives of the Special Issue.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
Dr. Vincenzo Amato

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.
