Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Landslides occur in various parts of the world, spanning from mountainous terrain to coastal regions, and are influenced by factors such as geology, climate, land use, and human activities. Additionally, landslides represent a global issue, demanding comprehensive risk assessment, mitigation measures, and preparation strategies that minimize their impact on communities and infrastructure.
Clarifying and characterizing the potential causes of landslides requires a thorough examination of the numerous factors influencing slope instability. This involves employing a range of methods, including geological and geomorphological analyses, field surveys and mapping, hydrological and meteorological assessments, remote sensing and monitoring, numerical modelling and simulations, and a multidisciplinary approach. Incorporating state-of-the-art technology into the study and management of landslides can deepen our understanding of landslide mechanisms, enhance risk assessment and mitigation tactics, and ultimately reduce the impact of landslides on human lives, infrastructure, and the environment.
This Special Issue welcomes the submission of manuscripts that focus on the application of advanced technology in landslides, covering numerical methods, experimental investigations, and various emerging topics. We welcome high-quality contributions that enhance our understanding of landslides and mitigation efforts through theory, simulations, and experimental work. Additionally, we welcome the submission of review articles that provide an overview of the current state of research in this field.

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.
