Topical Collection Information:

Dear Colleagues,

Landslides are a major cause of concern for communities, infrastructure, and ecosystems across the globe. Addressing this complex issue requires a thorough understanding of landslide dynamics, reliable risk assessment methods, efficient prevention strategies, and creative mitigation measures. The goal of this special issue is to provide a platform for researchers, engineers, and practitioners to present recent developments in landslide modeling, risk assessment, prevention, and mitigation.

Topics covered in this special issue will include a wide range of subjects, such as but not limited to:

Landslide Modeling Techniques: Papers on simulating landslides using computational methods, remote sensing, and geotechnical approaches.
Risk Assessment Frameworks: Studies focusing on integrated risk assessment frameworks incorporating geological, hydrological, climatic, and socio-economic factors to evaluate landslide susceptibility, hazard, and vulnerability.
Prevention Strategies: Research on preventing landslides via innovative engineering, ecological and land management strategies, including slope stabilization techniques, vegetation management, and land-use planning.
Mitigation Measures: Investigations into effective measures to reduce the impacts of landslides include early warning systems, emergency plans, mitigation measures, and community-based approaches.
Case Studies and Best Practices: Real-world case studies demonstrating effective landslide management strategies, lessons learned, and best practices for reducing risks in various geographical and socio-economic contexts.

Authors are invited to submit original research articles, reviews, and case studies that contribute to advancing our understanding of landslides and improving strategies for their modeling, assessment, prevention, and mitigation. We welcome contributions from diverse disciplinary perspectives, including geology, geotechnical engineering, hydrology, remote sensing, climate science, ecology, social sciences, and disaster management. Our aim is to enhance the resilience of communities and landscapes against landslide hazards by sharing knowledge, insights, and innovative solutions.

Manuscript Submission Information:

Please visit the Submissions Guidelines page before submitting a manuscript. Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Manuscripts should be submitted online through the online manuscript submission and editorial system. Additionally, please include a cover letter specifying that the manuscript is intended for the Topical Collection "Landslides Modeling, Risk Assessment, Prevention and Mitigation" when submitting it online. Manuscripts can be submitted until the submission deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal and will be listed together on the Topical Collection website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract can be sent to the Editorial Office ptnd@ukscip.com for announcement on this website.

The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 600 USD. Authors who are unable to cover this cost or those who are invited to submit papers may be eligible for discounts or waivers.

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 double-blind peer-review process.
