| LAND - Special Issue ’’Landslide Hazard and Environment Risk Assessment’’ - scadenza invio contributi: 30/03/2021 |
Dear Colleagues,We contacted you last time in August, regarding a Special Issue entitled "LANDSLIDE HAZARD AND ENVIRONMENT RISK ASSESSMENT", to be published in the LAND Journal (ISSN 2073-445X, IF 2.429). /Prof. Enrico Miccadei, Dr. Cristiano Carabella, and Dr. Giorgio Paglia/ are serving as Guest Editors for this issue. Based on your expertise in this field, we think you could make an excellent contribution.Landslides are global geomorphological phenomena occurring in all geographic regions in response to a wide range of triggering factors. Landsliding is linked to the combination of geological, geomorphological, and climatic factors in response to trigger mechanisms mostly represented by heavy rainfall events, seismicity, or human action. Landslides directly and indirectly impact a territory, causing fatalities and huge socioeconomic losses also due to environmental degradation and rapid population growth, which requires correct land use policies and best practices for long-term risk mitigation and reduction. In this context, geomorphological field activities, satellite remote sensing, and numerical modeling offer effective support for mapping and monitoring the activity of landslides at both the local and regional scales.We would like to invite you to participate in this Special Issue, which will focus primarily on such innovative methods to accurately investigate landslide phenomena providing useful products to characterize landslide risk management. All landslide types are considered, from fast rockfalls to debris flows and from slow-moving slides to very rapid rock avalanches. All climatic and geographical scales are considered, from the local to the global, including individual and multiple slope failures.For further reading, you can download the attached SI flyer or please follow the link to the Special Issue Website at: https://www.mdpi.com/journal/land/special_issues/LandslideHazard_ERA
