International Symposium on Resource Exploration and Environmental Science

Abstract

PrefaceThe organizing committee of REES 2017 is proud to present the proceedings of the 2017 International Symposium on Resource Exploration and Environmental Science (REES 2017: http://www.isrees.org/), held on April 14-16, 2017 in Ordos, China.REES 2017 was a platform for presenting excellent results and new challenges facing the field of earth and environmental sciences, resources and environmental engineering, energy and electricity engineering and related topics. It brought together experts from industry, governments and academia, experienced in engineering, design and research.REES 2017 received 378 manuscripts, and 123 submissions have been accepted by our reviewers. By submitting a paper to REES 2017, the authors agreed to the review process and understood that papers would undergo a peer-review process. Manuscripts were reviewed by appropriately qualified experts in the field selected by the conference committee, who took detailed comments and-if the submission was accepted-the authors would submit a revised version that took into account this feedback. All papers were reviewed using a double-blind review process: authors declared their names and affiliations in the manuscript for the reviewers to see, but reviewers did not know each other’s identities, nor did the authors receive information about who had reviewed their manuscript. The committees of REES 2017 invested great efforts in reviewing the papers submitted to the conference and organizing the sessions to enable the participants to gain maximum benefit.Hopefully, all participants and other interested readers will benefit scientifically from the proceedings and also find it stimulating in the process.With our warmest regards,Lin LiuConference Organizing ChairWuhan, China
