Hydrometeorological Events, Climate Change, and Coastal Risk: Celebrating Women’s Contribution to Natural Hazard Research

Dear Colleagues,

Hydrometeorological events such as tropical and extratropical cyclones and thunderstorms may cause extreme rainfall, storm surges, and floods that threaten coastal regions across the world. Rising sea levels and evolving storm climatology due to climate change as well as continued coastal development and geomorphological changes compound to worsen the impacts of hydrometeorological hazards. Understanding the relationship between hydroclimate forcing and coastal processes is vital for coastal risk assessment, sustainable development, and long-term hazard management. This issue invites studies on extreme weather and climate events and cascading and/or compound hazards as well as studies investigating the coastal impacts resulting from hydroclimate extremes and/or geomorphological changes. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to) observations, simulations, and projections of extreme wind, rainfall and storm surges, coastal flooding, sea level rise impacts on coastal and fluvial processes, spatially and/or temporally compound events, and coastal impacts from evolving hazards and environment conditions. We seek to celebrate the achievements of women in science and encourage contributions that showcase women-led research. However, we welcome submissions from all authors, regardless of gender identity.

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.
