Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce this Special Issue, entitled “Hydraulic Modeling and Climate Change: Impacts on River Systems and Extreme Events”. This Special Issue centers on the impact of climate change on river hydraulics, trends in extreme flooding, and the use of innovative hydraulic modeling techniques to forecast future flood risks. It investigates long-term shifts in extreme hydrological events and examines the contributions of both natural and anthropogenic factors, leveraging statistical and machine learning models. The Issue also highlights novel methodologies and case studies in flood frequency analysis, focusing on parameter estimation methods, statistical models, and their practical application in flood risk assessment. Additionally, it showcases recent advancements in statistical distributions and techniques for analyzing extreme hydrological events, with applications to flood frequency analysis and prediction.
For this Special Issue, we invite original research materials that employ multidisciplinary approaches and explore various facets of hydraulic modeling and hydrometeorological extremes.

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. Geographies 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.
