Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Billions of people across our planet are threatened by endogenous and exogenous geohazards originating from varied geological, meteorological and climate change processes, as well as human activity. The role of modern technologies is vital in understanding the mechanisms driving geohazards and monitoring their evolution, as well as in preventing the potential risks and disasters. This Special Issue covers the wide spectrum of theoretical, applied and operational approaches that are related to modern technologies and are available or under development for protecting societies from geohazards. This Special Issue will bring together contributions from scientists, technology developers and practitioners working on the above-mentioned hot topics.
