Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Microscopy plays a key role in the identification and characterization of geomaterials. Fields of research can include minerals, rocks, slags, concrete, ore, wastes, meteorites, and more.
This Special Issue will document the use of classical microscopy, as well as up-to-date technologies applied to recognize the microstructure of geomaterials.
Reviews that cover a specific application or thematic are welcome, as well as case studies in which several types of microscopies are involved.
Finally, “primers” of unusual geomaterials are encouraged.
Dr. Vincent Thiery
Guest Editor
