Introduction

The conference will be an occasion to endorse the journal’s long-held reputation for attracting many important studies from the Middle East, Euro-Mediterranean, Africa, Asia and other parts of the world. 
During 4 days (November 12th – 15th, 2018), the conference will provide attendees in a stimulating environment in Tunisia with opportunities to share their latest unpublished findings and learn the newest studies. The event will also allow the journal’s authors to meet and discuss with the editors and reviewers. 
The Conference Scientific Committee invites research papers on all cross-cutting themes of Earth sciences, principally focusing on the following 10 conference tracks: 
Track 1. Climate, paleoclimate and paleoenvironmental changes 
Track 2. Geo-informatics, remote sensing, geodesy 
Track 3. Geoenvironmental engineering, geomechanics and geotechnics, geohazards 
Track 4. Geography, geoecology, geoarcheology, geotourism 
Track 5. Geophysics, seismology 
Track 6. Hydrology, hydrogeology, hydrochemistry 
Track 7. Mineralogy, geochemistry, petrology and volcanology 
Track 8. Petroleum engineering and petroleum geology/geochemistry 
Track 9. Sedimentology, stratigraphy, paleontology, geomorphology, pedology 
Track 10. Structural geology, geodynamics, marine geology

Final paper submission deadline

Your conference paper should not exceed 4 pages in total (i.e. an extended version of your conference abstract). This 4-page paper will be peer reviewed and, if accepted by the editors of the conference proceedings (see publication), you will be asked to revise and correct it. After resubmitting the revised version, the editors will re-check the paper and, if accepted, the corresponding author will be requested to sign the Consent-to-Publish by Springer. The accepted paper will be published in the conference proceedings by Springer only after signing the Consent-to-Publish. After evaluating all presentations during the conference and taking into account the comments of the reviewers and editors during the pre-conference evaluation process, the authors of the best papers will be invited after the conference to submit an extended version (8 to 15 pages) of their papers for publication in the Arabian Journal of Geosciences or in one of our partnered Springer journals (see Publications). Most importantly, publishing your short paper in the conference proceedings by Springer does not prevent you from submitting the extended version of the same work in the Arabian Journal of Geosciences or in one of our partnered Springer journals or in any other journal after the conference.
