Special Issue on

Complex Geological Evolution and Mineralization

Geologic history of Earth, evolution of the continents, oceans, atmosphere, and biosphere. The layers of rock at Earth’s surface contain evidence of the evolutionary processes undergone by these components of the terrestrial environment during the times at which each layer was formed. By studying this rock record from the very beginning, it is thus possible to trace their development and the resultant changes through time. 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 complex geological evolution and mineralization.

In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original research and review articles on exploring complex geological evolution and mineralization. In this special issue, potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• The pregeologic period
• Development of the atmosphere and oceans
• Time scales
• Precambrian and phanerozoic eon
• Geological structure and mineralization
• Reasons and mechanism of mineralization

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 notice that the “Special Issue” under your manuscript title is supposed to be specified and the research field “Special Issue - Complex Geological Evolution and Mineralization” should be chosen during your submission.

According to the following timetable:
