Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Coastal and estuarine hydrodynamic processes are closely related to nearshore material transport, changes in coastline and bathymetry, the survival of marine life, infrastructure construction, and communications and transportation. With the development of hydrodynamic modeling and artificial intelligence, the research outcomes of the effects of physical oceanography on nearshore processes, forcing mechanisms, and structures have become increasingly substantial. The focus of this Special Issue is on hydrodynamic modeling and observational techniques in coastal and estuarine regions. This Special Issues invites the submission of novel research in this field. Topics of interest may include (but are not limited to) the following: (1) the theory, observations, and hydrodynamic modeling of coastal and estuarine processes; (2) estuarine and coastal sediment transport dynamics and the evolution of sedimentary geomorphology; (3) coastal and offshore marine disasters; (4) fluid–structure interactions; (5) environmental and ecological effects in estuarine and coastal zones; and (6) applications of artificial intelligence in offshore dynamics.

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. Geosciences 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 1800 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.
