Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recently, frequent occurrences of slope geological hazards, such as landslides induced by wind or rainfall, have been attributed to climate change. These hazards easily lead to the severe surface erosion of slopes. Traditional treatment methods, like anti-slide piles, anchors, and retaining walls, have been widely employed in slope management to mitigate soil slope instability; however, these conventional approaches still possess limitations in terms of their broad applicability. Consequently, there is a growing demand for novel "green" and effective alternatives that can effectively address soil erosion and stabilize slopes. This Special Issue of Water invites papers presenting recent advancements in the mechanisms underlying soil particle erosion as well as new methods for treating slopes, including, but not limited to, the following topics:
- Soil erosion dynamics, mechanisms, and processes.
- Slope risk evaluation: hazard assessment, hazard mapping, and vulnerability assessment.
- Geological, geotechnical, hydrological, and geophysical modeling.
- New slope management technology, expert and intelligent systems.
- Rock slides, rock falls, debris flows, earth flows, and lateral spreads.
- Slope erosion remedial measures/prevention works.

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. 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.
