Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Climate change is increasingly affecting natural systems and human societies across the world. Rising temperatures, changing precipitation patterns, sea-level rise, and the growing frequency and intensity of extreme weather events—such as heatwaves, heavy rainfall, floods, droughts, and storms—are generating new and often interconnected risks. These changes influence ecosystems, infrastructure, water resources, and socio-economic systems, making it essential to better understand how climate-related hazards develop and how their impacts can be assessed and managed.
This Special Issue of Geosciences aims to collect contributions focused on the assessment, monitoring, and modeling of climate risks and their impacts on Earth systems and human environments. Attention will be given to hazardous meteorological events and to the cascading effects they may produce on geomorphological, hydrological, and environmental processes.
We welcome original research articles, review papers, and case studies addressing the identification and quantification of climate risks, vulnerability and exposure assessment, and interactions among multiple hazards. Contributions based on field observations, monitoring data, numerical modeling, geospatial analysis, and machine learning approaches for the detection, analysis, and prediction of climate-related hazards are especially encouraged.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following: climate-driven natural hazards, extreme weather events, hydrogeological and coastal risks, landscape and geomorphological change, impacts of climate variability on water resources, and data-driven methods supporting risk assessment, forecasting, and adaptation strategies.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Geosciences 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.
