Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The increasing global impact of geohazards, which is connected to ongoing climate change, weathering, hydrological changes, subsidence, a lack of vegetation, and human activities, emphasizes the role of water from different viewpoints and at different scales; these range from microscopic porous media to regional studies and from modeling based on observed data to laboratory experiments, which appear to be the most promising approaches for studying water-related geohazards.
On this basis, this Special Issue focuses on recent advances in water-related geohazards using artificial intelligence and integrated methods.
We would like to invite scientists in this field to contribute to this Special Issue, which will focus broadly on the review, analysis, mapping, prediction, experimentation, susceptibility analysis, monitoring, and modeling of water-related geohazards such as landslides and slope instabilities, as well as the analysis of early-warning definitions based on artificial intelligence findings.
We welcome contributions on newly developed monitoring instruments, methods, techniques, and approaches, as well as relevant case studies on water, geohazards, and AI. Topics of interest include landslides, qanats, slope stabilities, floods, geotechnical hazard mapping, porous media, and their cascading combinations.

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. Water 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 2600 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.
