Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Climate change has had a major impact on the earth. These impacts are directly reflected in the weather-related natural hazards. Over the years, these hazards became more disastrous to various aspects of human life.
This Special Issue encompasses academic articles and/or reviews:
- Highlighting the severe impacts related to natural hazards and climate change.
- Remote sensing technologies' role in surveying, analyzing, mapping, and interpreting climate change—natural hazard impacts and/or relationships.
- Studies related to prevention, damage mitigation, and risk management of natural hazard events.
- All aspects of geological, geomorphological, climate change, and natural hazards.
This Special Issue focus on research that highlights the relationship between climate change and natural hazards. This relationship directly impacts the technical, environmental, cultural, economic, and social sustainability of human beings, which provides an advanced overview for future sustainable development against climate change-related natural hazards.
We encourage researchers in this Special Issue to publish their experimental, computational, and theoretical research relating to landslides, erosion, earthquakes, storm surges, floods, and land subsidence, in addition to vulnerability and risk assessment.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews non-published or being in process elsewhere are welcome. Research topics may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Climate change and impacts on soil, rocks, and water resources.
- Karstic landscape and water resources.
- Geomorphology and landforms.
- Environmental geology.
- Sustainability in Earth and environmental sciences.
- Water quality and health risks.
- Application of geomatics technics in environmental issues.
- Natural hazard assessment and mitigation.
- Mining environment and sustainable development.
- Natural hazards remote sensing.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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. Sustainability 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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
