Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Extreme hydroclimatic events pose a major threat to human societies, affecting urban and rural areas with direct and indirect impacts on populations, agricultural production, infrastructure, etc. Recent studies and reports by international organisations stress the fact that climate change is anticipated to increase the frequency and intensify the severity of hydroclimatic extremes in many parts of the globe in the coming years. Both developed and developing counties are vulnerable to hydroclimatic extremes, including floods, droughts, and heatwaves, among others.
Therefore, timely and accurate prediction of hydroclimatic extremes is essential for devising early warning systems and activating awareness plans to mitigate the anticipated damages based on informed decision support systems. Recent advances in remote sensing, hydroinformatics, data acquisition, and modelling approaches may enhance the effectiveness of such predictions for any type of hydroclimatic extremes (floods, droughts, and heatwaves), as well as their applicability to various systems.
This Special Issue welcomes original papers dealing with the above issues, along with state-of-the-art approaches and solutions for the efficient prediction of the occurrence and/or the effects of hydroclimatic extremes.

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.
