Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
A lot of proxy evidence from the water cycle indicates that the hydroclimate is changing under global warming and is experiencing increasing extremes and enhanced anomalies. All these changes heavily impact the water cycle and have extensive effects on societies and ecosystems. In this Special Issue, the related research will focus on global or regional extreme hydrological processes and their associated hazard effects, with a particular focus on high-altitude regions where the climate and water cycle are sensitive to global warming. Potential topics will include, but are not be limited to, (1) spatial or temporal changes in precipitation, evapotranspiration, runoff, snow or glacier, etc.; (2) climate or hydro model development for hydroclimate change studies in high-altitude regions; (3) characteristics of extreme hydrological events and processes; (4) the impacts of hydroclimate changes on secondary disasters including drought, flood, snow avalanche, landslide and debris flow, etc.

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.
