Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues
Exploration seismology is a powerful tool for near-surface detection, oil/gas and mineral exploration, geothermal study, and geological disaster early warning. It can provide both high-resolution structural and lithological information after careful and systematic data acquisition, processing, and interpretation. With the rapid development of high-performance computing and the increasing challenges of deep and ultradeep resource exploration and near-surface environmental monitoring, the theory and methods of exploration seismology have made great progress in the past three decades. This Special Issue invites contributions from a broad range of theoretical innovations, optimized methodology, and case studies in exploration seismology. The main contents include the following aspects:
- Advanced signal denoising and interpolation methods for seismic data;
- Accurate wave propagation modeling in acoustic, (an)elastic and anisotropic media;
- Advanced ray-based and wave equation seismic migration methods;
- High-resolution least-squares seismic imaging;
- Robust model building techniques using traveltime tomography and full-waveform inversion;
- The applications of artificial intelligent methods in seismic data processing and interpretation;
- The applications of high-performance computing in exploration seismology;
- Typical case studies of exploration seismology in near-surface survey and resource exploration.
Submissions can include original research articles, comprehensive reviews, and case studies relating to the title/description above. Each submission will undergo a formal peer review process, and acceptance or rejection of the submitted article will be evaluated upon reception of the reviews.

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.
