Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Rainfall of different intensities is the main factor triggering both shallow and deep-seated landslides. Shallow landslides, especially soil slips, are usually triggered by intense short-duration rainfall, whereas landslides in clayey soils and deep-seated landslides are more sensitive to long and moderate intensity rainfall. In history, rainfall-induced landslides have posed risks to constructed facilities, and have led to fatalities. As a consequence, the causes, modelling and hazard assessment of rainfall-induced landslide disasters have been, and remain, some of the most important challenges in the field of engineering geology. Thus, further research on the topic of landslides is crucial. In addition to geological surveys, comprehensive field monitoring, laboratory physical modelling, theoretical analyses and numerical simulations can also advance landslide hazard mitigation.

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. Water 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 2600 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.
