Special Issue on Structural Geology

Structural geology is a sub-discipline of geology that studies how rocks deform in response to the stresses that act within the Earth. It concerned with rock deformation on both a large and a small scale. The goal of this special issue is to provide a platform for scientists and academicians all over the world to promote, share, and discuss various new issues and developments in the area of Structural Geology.

In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original research and review articles on exploring Structural Geology. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Karst
• Landform evolution
• Lithospheric deformation
• Mineralization
• Oil, gas and mineral exploration
• Ore deposits
• Orogeny
• Petrology
• Resource exploration
• Rock deformation
• Tectonic evolution
• Primary structures
• Tectonic structures
• Mechanical properties of rock
• Rock mass structure
• Geological modelling
• Deformation processes and systems

Authors should read over the journal’s For Authors carefully before submission. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal’s Paper Submission System.

Please kindly specify the “Special Issue” under your manuscript title. The research field “Special Issue - Structural Geology” should be selected during your submission.
