Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Earth is working through cycles: rock, sediment, water, carbon, etc., all at different velocities, intensities, and sometimes with hiccups that accelerate these cycles (e.g., earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis). With or without these hiccups, numerous hazards are often associated with the movements of sediments (landslides, debris flows, river floods, tsunamis, liquefaction, etc.). For the present Special Issue, we would like to invite contributions looking at the mechanics, spatial distribution, and timing of sediment-related hazards, from the mountain to the sea, so that these apparently different systems that are often academically separated appear for what they are: interconnected systems. This Special Issue is therefore interested in all hazards involving sediments (landslides, debris flows, floods, tsunamis, liquefaction, etc.), which the Editors will tie together in an Editorial by presenting the sediment cycle in the light of your contributions. The Editors are particularly interested in contributions relating those hazards to climate change and how climate change is most likely to modify the sediment cycles and related hazards.

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. Earth is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1200 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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
