Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is the second volume of the Special Issue entitled ‘Advances in Rainfall-induced Hazard Research’, which was published in Atmosphere in 2025 (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/atmosphere/special_issues/8J9N9DFARV).
The current state of research on rainfall-induced hazards is rapidly evolving, with significant advancements in knowledge and mitigation strategies. Remote sensing and geospatial technologies have revolutionized our ability to monitor and predict rainfall patterns, while numerical modeling techniques are increasingly becoming sophisticated in assessing the potential impact of excessive rainfall on hillslopes, watersheds, and urban areas. Moreover, the integration of traditional atmospheric and natural hazard knowledge with modern data science and machine learning has led to more accurate predictions, enabling authorities to take timely measures.
This Special Issue brings together leading experts to share their insights and research findings, covering topics from rainfall modeling and forecasting to risk assessment and management. It will serve as a valuable resource for researchers, policymakers, and practitioners, fostering cross-disciplinary collaboration and further advancements in this crucial field.
We hope that this Special Issue will inspire more research into mitigating the impact of these natural hazards, safeguarding lives and property worldwide.
