Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Climate change is becoming an increasingly important factor in terms of environmental changes. However, it is often analysed in a sectoral way, highlighting only those changes that seem to be an end in themselves. Due to the persistence of the major global climate change that has been occurring over the past 30 years, a broader view is needed in order to assess its impact on the environment. In particular, this Special Issue is intended to cover many different topics, with a view to preserving the environment from the risks of climate change. It is especially important to assess the effects of climate change on hydrology, such as the management of river basins in the light of the increase in extreme events or the decrease in the persistence of snow cover due to high temperatures. In addition, this Special Issue will focus on geomorphology, assessing the environmental hazards that are amplified or in some cases triggered by climate events, as in the case of certain types of landslides. These two major topics, in addition to the effects of climate change, must also be approached with the aim ofidentifying solutions, where possible for the mitigation of the problem.
