Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues
According to the UN Atlas of the Oceans, about 44% of the world’s population lives in coastal areas within
150 km of the sea. On the other hand, coastal regions are constantly exposed to natural hazards and disasters such as storm waves, storm surges, floods and inundations due to tropical cyclones and storms, and tsunamis due to underwater earthquake, volcanic eruption, and landslides. For each disaster, it is not possible to reproduce, evaluate and even predict it without understanding the physical processes of each element of the Earth system (atmosphere, hydrosphere, lithosphere, and biosphere) as a cause and the interaction among the elements.
This Special Issue seeks to compile the current state of the art related to climate impacts on coastal areas through coastal hazards due to changed frequency and intensity of tropical cyclones and extra-tropical cyclones, tropical cyclone induced storm surge, surface waves, and coastal flooding. Contributions are encouraged in topics including, but not limited
- Climate change impacts on tropical cyclone occurrence frequency
- Climate change impacts on tropical cyclone intensity
- Tropical and extra-tropical cyclone induced storm surge
- Tropical and extra-tropical cyclone induced surface waves
- Climate change impacts on coastal flooding
- Climate change impacts on coastal flood risk, and its assessment and management

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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
