Novel Technology in Landslide Monitoring and Risk Assessment

Dear Colleagues,

The monitoring and assessment of landslide hazards is important in landslide hazard and risk management. The current advances in information technology improve monitoring technology and risk assessment methods for landslides. Therefore, the core objective of this Special Issue is to bring together knowledge in various fields of slope engineering, monitoring techniques, risk assessment, and artificial intelligence to provide an interdisciplinary forum for the exchange of ideas, communication on issues that cross disciplinary barriers, and dissemination of novel technologies used in landslide monitoring and risk assessment. Contributions may cover scientific computing, statistical modeling methods, and big data applications, including (but not limited to):

• Design and development of monitoring systems;
• Remote sensing;
• Application of GIS technologies;
• Artificial intelligence, machine learning and deep learning;
• New technologies, experts and intelligent systems;
• Establishment of landslide databases;
• Spatial and temporal prediction techniques for landslides;
• Sensor networks;
• Monitoring data processing and analysis;
• Risk assessment;
• Cloud computing.

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. Applied Sciences 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 2400 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.
