Cover Story: A sequence of geological events has led to the present position of the global sea-level and the related configuration of the coasts. However, ongoing climate change is producing rapid modifications in the environment with drastic consequences on the coastal areas. Such consequences are connected to sea-level rise, impact extreme marine events, and uncontrolled anthropogenic activities that together could produce significant coastal changes in the future. Precisely for these reasons, the development of new technologies is becoming useful for multidisciplinary studies and surveys of coastal environments, aimed at its management as the coasts represent one of the greatest residential and economic nodes on a global scale.
