Over the past few years, geoscience has undergone a marked development through innovative survey techniques. The rapid advance in new instrumentation capable of providing previously unimaginable detail, precision and analytical accuracy has enabled the collection of a huge amount of high-quality georeferenced data. This has facilitated surveys and sampling, and the reconstruction of realistic three-dimensional
geo-models. The continued use of classical techniques combined with this new technology has created an unprecedented opportunity for the understanding of deformational processes from micro- to regional scales.
This special issue encourages contributions based on research combining both classical and innovative techniques. We welcome research papers
presented at the recent DRT2022 meeting in Catania (Italy), as well as contributions from authors who were unable to attend this meeting.
