Geoenvironmental Disasters is an international journal with a focus on multi-disciplinary applied and fundamental research and the effects and impacts on infrastructure, society and the environment of geoenvironmental disasters triggered by various types of geo-hazards (e.g. earthquakes, volcanic activity, landslides, tsunamis, intensive erosion and hydro-meteorological events).

The integrated study of Geoenvironmental Disasters is an emerging and composite field of research interfacing with areas traditionally within civil engineering, earth sciences, atmospheric sciences and the life sciences. It centers on the interactions within and between the Earth's ground, air and water environments, all of which are affected by climate, geological, morphological and anthropological processes; and biological and ecological cycles. Disasters are dynamic forces which can change the Earth pervasively, rapidly, or abruptly, and which can generate lasting effects on the natural and built environments.

The journal publishes research papers, case studies and quick reports of recent geoenvironmental disasters, review papers and technical reports of various geoenvironmental disaster-related case studies. The focus on case studies and quick reports of recent geoenvironmental disasters helps to advance the practical understanding of geoenvironmental disasters and to inform future research priorities; they are a major component of the journal. The journal aims for the rapid publication of research papers at a high scientific level. The journal welcomes proposals for special issues reflecting the trends in geoenvironmental disaster reduction and monothematic issues. Researchers and practitioners are encouraged to submit original, unpublished contributions.

The 2023 Best Paper Award was bestowed to two papers:

1.  Susceptibility of typical marine geological disasters: an overview by Liu, X., Wang, Y., Zhang, H. et al.

(No.10, Vol.10)

•    In this highly cited and well-read review paper, the authors presented the details of their study on marine geological hazard susceptibility analyses methods. Specifically, the authors combined theoretical as well as analytical models to develop their marine geological disaster susceptible models. The authors have also discussed the challenges associated with currently available geological hazard susceptibility modeling, specifically on seabed liquefaction and submarine landslides. This paper will be useful to academic researchers and practitioners in exploring the best way to develop seabed liquefaction and submarine landslide susceptibility mapping. It is specifically important as we have been utilizing massive coastal areas for various purposes including energy production.

2. Analysis of spatial distribution of landslides triggered by the Ms 6.8 Luding earthquake in China on September 5, 2022 By Xiao, Z., Xu, C., Huang, Y. et al. 

(No.3, Vol.10)

•  In this well read and cited research paper, the authors discussed about their study that mapped over 5,000 coseismic landslides triggered by the Magnitude 6.8 Luding Earthquake occurred in China on September 5, 2022. The paper includes detailed analyses performed on various parameters associated with the co-seismic landslides including landslide density, proximity to the fault, topography, vegetation coverage, and geology. The landslide inventory will add value to the landslide disaster mitigation effort in Southwest China and beyond.
