Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Seismological research plays a crucial role in understanding earthquake mechanisms, assessing seismic hazards, and mitigating risks to communities and infrastructure. The Special Issue, entitled “Seismological Research and Seismic Hazard & Risk Assessments”, brings together cutting-edge studies on seismic source characterization, ground motion modeling, probabilistic and deterministic hazard and risk assessments, and early warning systems. We invite contributions to explore the role of rapid ground motion forecasting, earthquake early warning systems, and real-time data assimilation in probabilistic hazard and risk models. By emphasizing the integration of real-time data streams into hazard and risk mitigation strategies, this Special Issue aims to advance predictive capabilities and enhance disaster resilience in earthquake-prone areas. Case studies from seismically active regions provide insights into earthquake recurrence patterns, fault interactions, and site-specific risk assessments, and demonstrate the effectiveness of real-time analysis in assessing fault activity, rupture dynamics, and evolving seismic risk. By bridging fundamental seismological research with applications in hazard mitigation strategies, this Special Issue aims to provide insight into preparedness and to support policy decisions in earthquake-prone regions worldwide.

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. GeoHazards is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1000 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.
