Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Extreme hydrogeomorphological and hydrometeorological events and other climate-related disasters are becoming increasingly common, inducing significant damage to the natural and man-made environment, as well as having noteworthy impacts on the wellbeing of the population.
Extreme climate-related hazards affect modern societies heavily, inducing disruption to multiple aspects of socioeconomic activities, including food and water supply, transportation, provision of various services (e.g., health care, logistics, trade, travel, etc.), exacerbating poverty, displacing communities, damaging infrastructure, and lead to long-term economic and social impacts.
The threat of climate change raises important questions regarding the potential increase in the frequency and severity of these impacts as well as the means and approaches to mitigate risks associated with climate-related extreme events.
The purpose of this Special Issue is to collect research works that improve our understanding on the effects and impacts of extreme hydrogeomorphological and hydrometeorological events and as well as innovative methods and tools aiming to limit or reduce them. This topic draws on a wide range of expertise and applications including, but not limited to, the following:
- Extreme climate-related disasters impacts;
- Hydrogeomorphological and hydrometeorological extremes trends;
- Impacts of extreme events on the natural environment;
- Impacts of extreme events in the man-made environment;
- Extreme events effects on transportation;
- Extreme events effects on health care;
- Extreme events effects on various socioeconomic activities;
- Policy and governance regarding extreme climate-related events;
- Extreme events and risk perception;
- Extreme events and human behavior;
- Impacts of extreme events on human health;
- Innovative methods and tools to deal with extreme events.
Within this aim, original interdisciplinary research articles highlighting new ideas, review articles, study approaches, and innovations are welcome.
