Advances in Quaternary Coastal Stratigraphy

Dear Colleagues,

This special issue aims to gather innovative research papers on field stratigraphy, sedimentology and coastal geomorphology. The study of coastal stratigraphy has proven to be a valuable tool in understanding past environmental changes and sea level fluctuations, which can aid in predicting future alterations in coastal systems. To further advance our understanding of these phenomena, We invite academics and experts in coastal stratigraphy to contribute their knowledge and findings to this special issue to expand our understanding of past and present coastal environments, sediment supply, sea level fluctuations, climate changes, and local tectonic activity in shaping coastal morphology throughout the Quaternary period. Geochronological methods are also a crucial component of coastal stratigraphy research, as they enable scientists to accurately date sedimentary deposits and geomorphic features, such as marine terraces, that record past sea level changes. We encourage welcome submissions of rigorous research, original studies, and interdisciplinary approaches exploring complex interactions between geological and climate processes shaping coastal landscapes.

We look forward to receiving submissions that will contribute to advancing coastal stratigraphy research and the broader scientific community.

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.
