Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We invite you to contribute an original research paper to the Special Issue on “Earthquake Hazard Modeling”. Earthquakes, with their catastrophic effects, are natural phenomena that are studied from various perspectives to understand their triggering mechanisms and improve our predictive capabilities to mitigate damage. Over the past decade, numerous studies have proposed seismic hazard models (SHMs) utilizing earthquake catalogs, consistent tectonic zonation, geological data, active fault datasets and subduction zone sources. The primary goal of these models is to generate hazard curves, maps and uniform hazard spectra for the regions that are most affected by seismic events.
This Special Issue welcomes contributions across a wide spectrum of research areas and case studies focused on seismic hazard modeling and earthquake risk mitigation. We encourage submissions on a variety of topics, including but not limited to physics-based seismicity models, ground motion models, site response characterization and the limitations of seismic hazard analyses. Additionally, we invite studies that incorporate machine learning techniques and advanced statistical methods in the context of seismic hazard 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 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.
