Geohazards: Risk Assessment, Mitigation and Prevention

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue aims to provide a common forum to share knowledge about the growing threat of Geohazards such as landslides and rock slides, earthquakes, floods, tsunamis, coastal erosion, drought among many others, due to the expanding size the cities and urban areas, critical use of agricultural lands, the increased use of infrastructure, and the effect of climate changes.

Original work related to the topic is welcomed, along with side topics if demonstrated to have a direct application into the theme, such as field surveys, numerical modelling, statistical analysis, monitoring, vulnerability and risk assessment, mitigation and adaptation strategies.
