Landslide Research: State of the Art and Innovations

Dear Colleagues,

Landslides have always been one of the most harmful geological hazards in terms of human lives and economic loss worldwide.

Landslides can develop in both continental and underwater environments characterized by the presence of slopes with devastating consequences on structures, infrastructure, economic activities and communities. They can also occur in flat or sub-flat areas as sink holes, a particularly insidious phenomena in densely urbanized areas.

For this reason, landslide research is a priority and requires a wide range of knowledge and expertise to describe them, characterize them and address the related risk prevention and mitigation aspects due to the wide variety of phenomena in terms of typology and triggering conditions.

The purpose of this Special Issue is to collect and group together quality scientific papers on these research fields and derived practical/operational applications.

The topics related to the Special Issue therefore concern the innovative methodologies to achieve landslides identification, classification, characterization and hazard/risk evaluation through geomorphological field survey and studies, remote sensing applications, GIS data mapping, processing and representation, the analysis of predisposing and triggering factors, landslide early warning systems implementation and the impact of current and future climate change scenarios on the evolution of these phenomena.

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. GeoHazards is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1000 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.
