Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
During the last few decades, the rapid improvement in digital techniques such as GIS and photogrammetry, as well as of remote surveying techniques, lends support to landslide inventorying and geodatabase construction as suitable tools for deriving and validating landslide scenarios from a multihazard perspective. Advanced numerical methods are contributing to quantifying slope stability as well as landslide mass interaction with different triggering actions while analytical solutions and rheological equations were significantly improved for stress–strain numerical modeling in 2D or 3D domains by continuum and discontinuum approaches. Numerical models, accounting for geometrical, mechanical, and hydrogeological features, are suitable for assessing the susceptibility to first-time slope failures or landslide reactivations as well as for providing landslide evolution over time from back- to forward-analysis, depending on possible natural or anthropogenic factors, such as meteoclimatic conditions and environmental exploitation due to human activities. These analyses provide a quantitative contribution for mapping landslide susceptibility, also at regional scale, in addition landslide multihazard scenarios and represent useful tools for risk management.
This Special Issue focuses on 1) illustrating the available methodological approaches for empirical, analytical, and numerical models to derive landslide scenarios in a multihazard perspective and 2) highlighting the limits and potential of numerical modeling in quantifying slope stability conditions or landslide evolution over time through case studies referred to local or regional contexts.

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. Modelling 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.
