IMPACT CITESCORE FACTOR 3.7 3.103 SCOPUS an Open Access Journal by MDPI The Role of Water in Shallow and Deep Landslides Guest Editors: Message from the Guest Editors Prof. Dr. Monica Papini Water is considered one of the most common causes of the Department of Civil and onset of landslide instability. Water play different roles in Environmental Engineering, Politecnico di Milano, Piazza slope stability that depend on the geomorphological Leonardo Da Vinci 32, 20133 conditions of the investigated sites as well as on the type of Milano, Italy rainfall events. In terms of its effect on the physical [email protected] processes, groundwater circulation can increase water pressure and/or decrease shear strength within the soil. Prof. Dr. Laura Longoni The complexity of landslides combined with the intrinsic Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, uncertainties of these problems make it hard for scientists Politecnico di Milano, Piazza to forecast where and when a landslide may occur. Leonardo Da Vinci 32, 20133 Milano, Italy The issue focusses primarily on the study of the role of [email protected] water in landslides. We welcome innovative approaches and/or case studies that focus on the use of new technologies or the integration of different monitoring systems able to characterize groundwater circulation in a Deadline for manuscript slope, as well as the use of models capable of forecasting submissions: closed (30 November 2019) landslides. All landslide types will be considered, ranging from shallow to deep landslides or from slow movements to very rapid ones. This will also include studies at laboratory scale, where authors can focus on technology innovation in order to better understand how water trigger landslides. mdpi.com/si/20840 SpeciaIslsue IMPACT CITESCORE FACTOR 3.7 3.103 SCOPUS an Open Access Journal by MDPI Editor-in-Chief Message from the Editor-in-Chief Dr. Jean-Luc PROBST In the context of global changes, the sustainable ECOLAB, Centre National de la management of water cycles, going from global and Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), regional water cycles to urban, industrial and agricultural University of Toulouse, campus ENSAT, Auzeville Tolosane, water cycles, plays a very important role on the water France resources and on their relationships with food, energy, biodiversity, ecosystem functioning and human health. Water invites authors to provide innovative original full articles, critical reviews and timely short communications and to propose special issues devoted to new technological and scientific domains and to interdisciplinary approaches of the water cycles. We ensure a critical review process and a quick turnaround between submission and final decision.
