Forecasting in Coastal and Offshore Environments

Dear Colleagues,

The possibility of forecasting the evolution of any environmental variable is the basis for planning and subsequent decision making. In the field of coastal or offshore engineering, this has become especially relevant in recent decades in view of the new situation established by the fight against climate change.

This Special Issue aims to gather scientific articles that are directly related to forecasting in any field in the marine and offshore environment as well as any research that can also serve as a basis for forecasting in these fields.

Within this context, we welcome studies that are related, among other things, to maritime work (coastal, port, and offshore activities), coastal evolution, climate change, sea level rise and its influence on the design, construction and/or maintenance of maritime infrastructures, aspects of sustainability at sea, and marine renewable energies, including offshore wind power, etc.
