Risks of Hydrometeorological Extremes, 2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

Hydrometeorological extremes, such as floods, droughts, and intense precipitation events, represent some of the most challenging and destructive natural phenomena to impact societies globally. With the advent of climate change, the frequency, intensity, and unpredictability of these events are escalating, posing significant threats to human life, infrastructure, and ecosystems. This Special Issue, titled "Risks of Hydrometeorological Extremes, 2nd Edition", aims to consolidate the latest research and advancements in understanding, predicting, and mitigating these extreme events. By integrating perspectives from climatology, hydrology, meteorology, and environmental science, this Special Issue seeks to highlight the complex relationships between atmospheric conditions that trigger hydrometeorological extremes and terrestrial impacts. We are particularly interested in interdisciplinary approaches on all scales (local, regional, and global) that combine advancements in modelling and forecasting techniques, including machine learning, to better predict these events; risk assessment methodologies to assess the dangers that they pose; and innovative strategies for resilience and adaptation to help societies and ecosystems withstand them.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

1. The characterization and prediction of hydrometeorological events and their impacts on agriculture, ecosystems, and human systems;
2. Drivers of hydrometeorological extreme events;
3. Socio-economic dimensions of these hazards, including vulnerability assessments, resilience-building measures, and policy implications;
4. Effects of climate change on the frequency and intensity of hydrometeorological extremes, as well as studies highlighting successful community and ecosystem responses;
5. Improving climate and hydrological models to enable better representation of hydrometeorological extremes;
6. Advanced modelling and simulation techniques to explain these hydrometeorological extreme events and novel frameworks for risk assessment.

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.
