Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Landslide hydrology and flood hydrology are emerging areas of research that are becoming increasingly important due to the widespread impact of landslides and floods around the globe. These natural disasters have caused significant hardship for affected communities. While many studies have explored the connection between hydrology, landslides, and floods in the past, hydrological processes have often been overlooked in landslide and flood research. This Special Issue aims to address this gap by focusing on key areas related to both landslides and floods, including the following:
- The hydrological perspective, examining the role of water in these events.
- The dependencies between processes, investigating how different environmental factors interact and influence the occurrence and severity of landslides and floods.
- Models that account for uncertainties, inconsistencies, and forecasting challenges in predicting and managing these disasters.
This Special Issue seeks to enhance the understanding of hydrological processes in relation to landslides and floods and improve predictive models and risk management strategies to mitigate their impact.
