Manuscript Topics
Landslides are a significant natural hazard that can lead to catastrophic damage, loss of life, and environmental degradation. As global climate change, urbanization, and land-use changes accelerate, the frequency and severity of landslide events are expected to increase. Advances in understanding landslide mechanisms, prediction, and mitigation strategies are crucial for reducing the risk associated with these disasters. This special issue aims to present the latest research footprints on landslide dynamics, monitoring technologies, risk assessment, and innovative mitigation strategies. Contributions that explore the interplay between landslides and climate change, the role of advanced modeling, remote sensing technologies, region-specific studies, risk assessment and risk reduction using frameworks, community-based approaches in landslide disaster management, and multidisciplinary studies covering landslides aspects are particularly encouraged but not limited to these disciplines. We invite original research, reviews, and case studies that addresses these topics and provide valuable insights into improving resilience against landslide disasters.
1. Landslide Triggering Mechanisms and Factors: Investigating the geotechnical, hydrological, and climatic factors that contribute to landslide initiation
2. Climate Change Impact on Landslide Frequency And Magnitude: Assessing how changing climate patterns influence landslide frequency, susceptibility, and severity
3. Landslide Monitoring and Early Warning Systems: Advances in remote sensing, GIS, and sensor technologies for real-time landslide detection and prediction
4. Risk Assessment and Vulnerability Mapping: Developing models and tools for assessing landslide risk and identifying vulnerable areas and populations
5. Innovative landslide Mitigation and Stabilization Techniques: Exploring new engineering methods and technologies for landslide prevention and control
6. Socioeconomic and Environmental Impacts of Landslides: Examining the effects of landslides on communities, infrastructure, and ecosystems
7. Case studies of Landslide Events and Management Strategies: Documenting lessons learned from recent landslide disasters and evaluating the effectiveness of response and recovery efforts
