Landscape Dynamics and Fluvial Geomorphology

Dear Colleagues,

The evolution of drainage landscapes as well as the processes of weathering and terrestrial erosion have changed significantly due to tectonic movement, climate change, human activities and so on. The equilibrium state of sediment transportation in rivers is also disturbed as a result. Although river systems generally alter their landform to respond and adjust to these changes, it is necessary to study the dynamical process of fluvial geomorphology evolution. With the development of dating, satellite photogrammetry, and numerical simulation technology, we can gain a scientific perception of landscape evolution. However, the dynamical mechanism of this process is still unclear. In order to further understand the evolution process as well as improve the theoretical system of river geomorphology, we are planning a Special Issue to showcase the latest scientific research on landscape dynamics and fluvial geomorphology.

The potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Valley development and its response to tectonic and climatic events.
• Paleohydrology and its research methods.
• River channel change during past decades.
• Landscape evolution in response to climate and tectonics.
• The influence of sediment mobility on drainage basin evolution.
• The influence of fluvial evolution on the hydrodynamical environment.
• State-of-the-art techniques, including remote sensing, mathematical modelling, and analysis.
• Geomorphological theory.

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-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Water is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2600 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.
