Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The impacts of geological disasters (such as landslides, floods, earthquakes, etc.) are self-evident and scary, and they are closely related to geomorphological features. Geomorphology is an interdisciplinary field that integrates geology, hydrology, climatology, soil science, environmental science, and other disciplines. Geomorphological mapping is a key technique for understanding geomorphological features, landscape evolution, natural hazards, and geological risks. Hence, geomorphological mapping and assessment play an important role in urban and territorial planning.
This Special Issue is intended to collect articles on progress and challenges in geomorphological mapping and assessment. The prospective authors are encouraged to submit articles with respect to, but not limited to, the following topics:
- New technologies in geomorphological mapping;
- Geological digital mapping;
- Geomorphological analysis and modern technologies;
- Geomorphological and structural assessment;
- Remote sensing and GIS in geomorphological mapping;
- Geomorphology and its application to natural risks.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
