Special Issue Information
Dear Colleague,
Understanding the effects of human activities on the land surface system and its connections with atmosphere and ocean is very important for environment management. Land surface modeling incorporates several recent scientific advances in the understanding and representation of land surface processes, expands model capabilities, and improves surface and atmospheric forcing datasets.
However, complex natural and human systems challenge land surface modeling due to the limitations of data and numerical models. The development of innovative methods and basic datasets to improve land surface modeling is urgent.
This Special Issue is aimed at collecting all research developments related to land surface modeling combining multidisciplinary approaches coming from the climate, hydrology, ecology, geomorphology, and geology in order to develop innovative methods and to provide a comprehensive update of the state of the art in this field.

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. 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.
