Deep Resources Engineering is now welcoming submissions!

Introduction:

Deep Resources Engineering is a gold open-access peer-reviewed journal committed to the rapid publication and global dissemination of the latest findings in the field of deep engineering. With the inaugural issue scheduled for release in January 2024, we look forward to your valuable contributions.

Amidst the prevailing energy shortage, the exploration and utilization of deep resources have assumed paramount importance. A multitude of deep resource projects, including mines, metal mines, geothermal explorations, and others, are in various stages of planning, construction and completion. Nevertheless, these ambitious undertakings are susceptible to a range of geological hazards, such as intense rockbursts, substantial deformations, potent water influx and large-scale collapses. Thus, there is an urgent call for intensified scientific and technological innovations to bolster the safety and stability of deep resource projects during their construction phase.

Our journal aims to establish a world-leading platform for academic exchange, uniting researchers and engineers alike, with a primary focus on pioneering research in deep resource science and engineering. We provide an authoritative forum for publishing high-quality papers that showcase innovative theories, cutting-edge research, and exemplary case studies within the domain of deep resources engineering.

We invite submissions in various areas of geology for deep engineering, encompassing deep metal mines, rock mechanics for deep engineering, excavation techniques for deep projects, and health and safety considerations in the context of deep engineering.

Topics covered:

• Geology for deep engineering: hydrogeology and engineering geology; structural geology; deep resources exploration; ore deposit detecting; digital ore deposit; crustal stress; coring, etc.
• Deep metal mines: deep open-pit mines; deep mining method; mining planning, design, sequence and optimization; mechanized mining and intelligent methods; stope; backfill; rock burst, etc.
• Rock mechanics for deep engineering: deep rock and rockmass testing and instruments; multiply field coupling process; multiply phase flow; dynamic and static rock mechanics; novel numerical methods, etc.
• Excavation for deep engineering: drilling, blasting, TBM tunneling; deep shaft, tunneling and cavern; theoretical analysis and numerical modelling for excavation; instrumentation and monitoring for excavation, etc.
