Manuscript submission is open.
All participants are invited to submit manuscripts to special issues in peer reviewed journals published after the 9th Conference on Clays in Natural and Engineered Barriers for Radioactive Waste Confinement. Manuscripts will be published online as soon as accepted for publication by the journal even if the entire special issue is not complete yet. Full manuscripts can be submitted until March 2025.
Applied Clay Science special issue will highlight important contributions to this topic in the fields related studies of mineralogy, geochemistry, transport and retention properties of clayey materials. Read more on the ACS website (external link). Please log in as author and select the special issue of the 9th Clay Conference from the pull-down menu
Environmental Earth Sciences special issue will publish original and relevant contributions to the topics related to THMC-coupled processes in clay host rock and bentonite barrier material, as well as hydro-mechanical and gas transport processes during the excavation, operational and post-closure phases. Multi-scale studies are particularly welcome. Read more on the EES website (external link) and on the Clay Conference special issue Clay rocks – Characterization of Natural and Engineered Barriers (external link).
Submit your manuscript to EES hereGeological Society of London special publication will illustrate the diversity of geological repository research, covering many of the aspects of clay characterization and behaviour at various temporal and spatial scales relevant to the confinement of radionuclides in clay, from basic phenomenological process descriptions to the global understanding of performance and safety at repository and geological scales.
