Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Geohazards, such as landslides, floods, volcanic eruptions, and earthquakes, recurrently threaten human lives and activities worldwide. Geomorphological mapping plays a crucial role in understanding geohazard-related processes through a meaningful representation of their associated landforms. In recent years, new methods and techniques have been applied to geomorphological mapping, and new models have been proposed for landforms classification. This Special Issue aims to collect original research about the overall topic of geomorphological mapping applied to the assessment and zoning of geohazards, with a specific focus on innovative methods and techniques.

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. GeoHazards 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.
