Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In this Special Issue, we embark on a comprehensive exploration of the dynamic field of landslide research. Landslides, natural geohazards with profound implications for both human settlements and the environment, continue to demand our attention in an ever-changing world. Our understanding of these complex phenomena has evolved considerably over time, driven by technological innovations, enhanced modeling techniques, and an increasing recognition of the imperative for effective mitigation strategies.
Landslides are emblematic of the intricate interplay between geological, climatic, and anthropogenic factors, presenting a formidable challenge to researchers, engineers, and policymakers alike. As we confront the realities of a changing climate and ongoing human interventions in our landscapes, the need to grasp landslide mechanisms, employ susceptibility mapping, and execute comprehensive risk assessments has never been more critical. This Special Issue aims to illuminate innovative solutions, novel methodologies, and the power of interdisciplinary collaboration as we strive to address the enduring threat of landslides.
We envision this collection of articles as a valuable resource for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers and as a catalyst for fostering collaboration and innovation in the realm of landslide hazard management. By advancing our knowledge and sharing best practices, we collectively work towards minimizing the devastating consequences of landslides, ultimately forging more resilient communities in the face of this persistent geological threat.

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. Applied Sciences 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 2400 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.
