Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The recent flank failure of Anak Krakatau in 2018 proved the importance of proper risk assessments related to tsunamigenic volcanic collapses. This event, which caused more than 400 fatalities, has been studied with unprecedently high resolution by employing satellite imagery and using many widespread witnesses. Thanks to this, a series of studies have proved that relatively small flank failures on volcanic islands can also induce waves potentially destructive to the surrounding coasts.
In this framework, the aims of the Special Issue are the collections of relevant findings and techniques in the context of tsunami hazard, vulnerability, and risk assessment. Particular attention will be given to hazard studies related to tsunamis generated by earthquakes, volcanic failures, and submarine landslides. Works based on the reconstruction of scenarios or statistical approaches are both welcome. Examples of detailed vulnerability studies in coastal areas are also appreciated. Finally, studies contributing to the definition of a probabilistic approach for seismic and nonseismic events are additionally sought after.

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.
