Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Many regions worldwide are coping with global climate change, which is increasing the occurrence of extreme hydro-meteorological events. Landslides and debris flows could increase significantly with respect to current and past scenarios, causing a modification of the susceptibility of a region and of the frequency of their triggering. These phenomena are causing significant damages to the environment and the territory, coupled also with a general loss of organic matter and nutrients fundamental for agricultural areas. The triggering of these phenomena is mostly related to the effect of intense rainfall events, with predisposition related to the hydrological conditions present in the affected materials. Hydrological modeling is therefore fundamental to understanding the predisposing and triggering conditions of landslides and debris flows, as well as their spatio-temporal prediction.
This Special Issue aims to collect research works concerning the most recent progress on the hydrological modeling of landslides and debris flows at different spatial and temporal scales, covering a wide spectrum of approaches. We encourage presentations related to:
- Laboratory or field models to assess conditions leading to the triggering of these phenomena;
- Hydrological monitoring for the assessment of predisposing and triggering conditions of landslides and debris flows;
- Physically-based and data-driven hydrological models for the assessment of the conditions leading to the development of landslides and debris flows;
- Proximal and remote sensing methods for the measurement and modeling of hydrological effects on landslides and debris flows;
- Effects of climatic global changes and land use modifications on hydrological models for predicting landslides and debris flows.

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.
