Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, the occurrence frequency and intensity of extreme rainfall and severe earthquakes have increased as a result of climate change. This effect can change not only the occurrence pattern of landslide but also the frequency and scale of landslide. As the construction works in mountainous areas have been enlarged due to the expansion of urban areas with increasing population, the damage of lives and properties has rapidly increased. In particular, the landslides that occur in the city cause the most severe damage. To reduce the damage induced by landslides, a landslide early warning system which can provide reliable and accurate information should be established.
The main topic of this Special Issue is related to the cutting-edge technologies involved with providing early warnings for landslides. Many researchers have developed and suggested different landslide early warning tools based on various prediction methods. The data-driven method has been a preferable approach that generates statistical, probabilistic, or machine learning models on the basis of a lot of historical landslide data. Also, numerous studies have proposed physically-based approaches with the advanced computational techniques based on analytical and numerical explanations for the mechanism of landslide occurrences. Meanwhile, the advanced monitoring approach that uses either contact-sensing techniques with ground instrumentations or remote-sensing techniques such as LiDAR, GB-InSAR, digital photogrammetry, and so on is another vital research field of landslide early warnings.
The primary objective of this Special Issue is to showcase the advanced landslide early warning technologies used to minimize and reduce the damages and to introduce the landslide early warning system in each country. The research articles related to landslide early warning that explore the topic from various fields are welcome.

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.
