Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The latest reports from the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, IPCC) unequivocally confirm a human imprint on the Earth’s current climate system.
Observations and projections confirm that the climate is shifting to a warmer state at an unprecedented rate, inducing major changes in ocean chemistry and dynamics, among other perturbations. There is no historical precedent for this rapid, high-amplitude global change, and finding perfect analogues for current observations and future projections remains challenging. In this context, paleoclimate reconstruction is a critical approach to providing elements of comparison. Reconstructing past ocean variability is especially of interest, as it acts as a major biogeochemical pool as well as a key component of climate dynamics.
Unraveling changes in ancient oceans is made possible by the development and combination of various approaches, proxies, and tools. Nevertheless, the quality and number of records means that is remains a challenge to obtain quantitative information useful for modeling.
This Special Issue is dedicated to cutting-edge contributions highlighting changes in the ocean (e.g., chemistry, structure, dynamics) in the past, using paleorecords as well as modeling.
The publications of young researchers, as well as multi-proxy approaches, and innovative tools are especially appreciated.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Journal of Marine Science and Engineering is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
