Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Hydroclimatic extremes such as floods, droughts, and compound hot dry events are intensifying under anthropogenic climate change, posing severe threats to water security, ecosystem resilience, infrastructure integrity, and human wellbeing worldwide. Despite advances in process-based and statistical modeling and advanced forecasting techniques, substantial uncertainties hinder accurate prediction and risk assessment. A comprehensive understanding of the drivers, spatial temporal dynamics, and cascading impacts of these extremes is essential for developing robust adaptation, mitigation, and early warning systems.
This Special Issue of Climate seeks to assemble high quality original research and critical reviews on the modeling, forecasting, and impact assessment of hydroclimatic extremes. Aligned with the journal’s focus on climate variability, extreme event analysis, and resilience, it aims to foster interdisciplinary collaboration and advance science-based solutions that inform water management and policy decisions.
Contributions may address process-based and statistical modeling; uncertainty quantification and bias correction; compound and multi-hazard event analysis; advanced forecasting methods leveraging data assimilation and machine learning; downscaling and projection evaluation; and the design of early warning or decision support tools. We welcome original research articles, comprehensive reviews that demonstrate innovative methodologies, regional applications, or adaptation pathways.

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. Climate is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 1800 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.
