Special Issue on Hydro-Meteorological Extreme: Implications on Economy, Society, Civil Protection and Environmental Planning
valentin...@gmail.com
Dear Colleagues,
The increase in extreme weather events is one of the most significant impacts linked to climate change and represents a global threat to humans and the natural system in general. The management of extreme weather events involves the adoption of coordinated strategies at various spatial and temporal scales. In the long-term perspective, territorial planning must consider climatic alterations, and the decision makers and stakeholders need to be aware of how the future climate will affect people’s safety, economy, social life and human needs.
In the short term, the improvement of forecasting systems is a fundamental prerequisite for the improved organization of early warning systems.
The main purpose of this Special Issue is to present advanced research activities as well as interesting results of good practices relating to the evaluation of severe weather events and their effects.
For this Special Issue, we invite the submission of research articles related to hydrometeorological extremes, including but not limited to:
- modeling of the ground system;
- management and modeling of urban systems;
- economic and social models and impact assessment;
- environmental planning toward meteorological phenomena;
- risk, hazard, and vulnerability assessment;
- testing of mitigation or resilience strategies and best practices;
- development of monitoring tools and/or networks useful for observing extreme weather conditions;
- implications of extreme weather conditions on agriculture;
- implications of extreme climate on ecology;
- severe weather events from a climatic perspective, in the future and/or in the past.
