The proceedings (4 volumes) of the 2nd CAJG is now in final preparation before online publication by Summer 2020. It summarizes new research studies focusing on emerging geosciences topics and it contains over 400 carefully refereed short contributions to the conference.

Note that authors of accepted papers in the conference proceedings (after the pre-conference peer review process) and who do not plan to attend the 3^rd CAJG should register before the deadline of 10 October 2020 (see Important Dates and Registration). If you are not sure whether you or one of your co-authors will be able to attend the conference, you should bear in mind that there is a fee to be paid before this deadline to cover the editorial handling and evaluation of your paper before publication in the conference proceedings. The accepted paper will not be included in the conference proceedings without paying the fee. If you pay the fee and decide to attend the conference afterward, the paid amount will be deduced from your total registration fee.

After the conference, the 3^rd CAJG scientific committee aims to publish high-quality topical collections (special issues) on cross-cutting themes from the earth and environmental sciences in the Arabian Journal of Geosciences (AJGS).

Authors of the selected abstracts/extended abstracts (based on scores received before the conference and/or during the conference) will be notified on 31 December 2020 to start preparing a full version of their abstracts/extended abstracts for submission in one of the AJGS special issues.

All full papers will be peer-reviewed under the supervision of the Chief Editors of the AJGS before final acceptance for publication. Authors of the accepted papers will receive a "Springer Acceptance Certificate" after publication of the special issues in the AJGS:
