Advances in Geosciences (ADGEO) is a not-for-profit international interdisciplinary journal for fast publication of collections of short but self-contained communications in the Earth, planetary, and solar system sciences, published in separate volumes online with the option of printed publications (print on demand). The collections may include papers presented at scientific meetings (proceedings) or articles on a well-defined topic compiled by individual editors or organizations (special publications).

Geoscience applications of environmental radioactivity

15 May 2021–31 Jan 2022 | Virginia Strati, Xuemeng Chen, Anita Erőss, Viktor Jobbágy, and Gerti Xhixha | Information

Information

The submission is open to any papers within the special issue scope.

Since its discovery, much has changed in our understanding of radioactivity. The deep knowledge of its properties and the ability to detect radioactive processes make this natural phenomenon a particularly appealing tool for tracing time-varying environmental processes. Nuclear techniques enable the measurement of naturally occurring or artificial radionuclides in air, soils, and water even at trace levels, improving the understanding of their behaviour and distribution. Recently, novel methods of environmental radioactivity monitoring have benefitted from the advances in technological development of innovative and robotized instrumentation also based on airborne systems, drones, and small satellites. In this special issue, we would like to invite contributions addressing the measurement and exploitation of environmental radioactivity in all areas of geosciences, including, but not limited to,

mineral exploration;
soil erosion and coastal and marine monitoring;
naturally occurring radioactive materials (NORMs) and tailor-made building materials;
geostatistical methods for radioactivity mapping;
nuclear technologies for precision agriculture;
atmospheric tracing, mixing, and transport processes;
Radon EuroCode and indoor air quality monitoring;
cosmic ray modelling and detection;
fingerprinting approaches of natural waters;
public health linked to the EU BSS and EURATOM directives.

21 Dec 2021 Season's greetings from Copernicus and review deadline extensions

At the end of the year, we would like to express our deep gratitude for our collaboration with all editors, referees, and authors in 2021. Please take a look at our Christmas card. Since our virtual office is closed from 23 Dec to 2 Jan and a significant number of editors and referees pause their work over the Christmas days, we extended all journal review deadlines: deadlines expiring shortly before or over Christmas have been extended to the week after and deadlines expiring after Christmas or over New Year have been extended to after New Year’s Day. Season's greetings and a happy New Year. Please stay healthy.

01 Oct 2021 First insights from new EGU author survey

In April 2021 the EGU Publications Committee launched the first author survey to routinely ask authors about their publishing experience in EGU journals, in order to learn more about how EGU and Copernicus can serve the scientific community with their publications. Over the last 6 months, 160 contact authors answered the survey representing about 10% of the papers published during this time. We are delighted about the positive feedback and thank all authors. Please read the full report.
