Special Issue on Major Geological Hazards and Disaster Reduction
Published 14 August, 2020
In recent years, there have been frequent landslides, rockfalls, debris flows, and other geological disasters, which have resulted in a large number of casualties and loss of property. To reduce the impact of these events, early identification, monitoring, early warning and emergency response are important. The detailed analysis and report of major geological disaster cases, along with in-depth scientific research, can provide valuable experience for dealing with these incidents, and support the development of more effective disaster mitigation measures and response plans.
Topics Covered
These include, but are not limited to:
- Reviews on the research of geological hazards
- Detailed reports of major geological disasters
- Formation and evolution of major geological disasters
- Early identification, monitoring and early warning of major geological disasters
- Disaster mechanisms of major geological disasters
- Emergency response and disposal of major geological disasters
