Key words: CARG project, geological cartography, geothematic cartography

The recent relaunch of the CARG Project, the official Italian project of geological and geothematic cartography, has fueled the collection of new field data for the advancement of geosciences. For this special issue we are looking for contributions that, starting from the data collected during the CARG Project in the Alps-Apennines system and in the neighboring regions, allow new steps forward in various fields of Earth Sciences, such as stratigraphy, sedimentology, paleontology, structural geology, volcanology, petrology, metamorphic geology, geomorphology and tectonics. Both guides and maps aimed at summarizing or exploring in more detail specific scientific topics that emerged during the project are welcome. 

Deadline for submission: February 2026
