Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to invite you to contribute to our upcoming Special Issue on “Coastal Hydrodynamic and Morphodynamic Processes”. As climate change intensifies, understanding the complex interactions between hydrodynamics and coastal morphodynamics becomes crucial for effective coastal management and mitigation strategies. This Special Issue will focus on the latest advances in research, including but not limited to wave–current interactions, sediment transport processes, coastal erosion mechanisms, and the impact of rising sea levels on coastal zones.

We welcome submissions addressing the following:

  • Coastal hydrodynamic characteristics or topics related to sea level variation;
  • Coastal morphodynamic changes due to natural and anthropogenic influences;
  • Sediment transport and deposition patterns due to coastal processes;
  • Coastal erosion prediction and monitoring techniques;
  • Resilience and adaptation strategies for coastal regions affected by climate change;
  • Climate change and coastal resilience related to the present topic.

Your contributions will help advance the knowledge of this field, fostering sustainable solutions for coastal resilience and preservation.

Prof. Dr. Tai-Wen Hsu

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. Journal of Marine Science and Engineering 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 2600 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.

Abstract
Many coastal coal-fired power plants utilize seawater flue gas desulfurization (SWFGD) systems, which may pose risks of heavy metal attachment on suspended sediments.

Many coastal coal-fired power plants utilize seawater flue gas desulfurization (SWFGD) systems, which may pose risks of heavy metal attachment on suspended sediments. Understanding variations in suspended sediment concentration (SSC) is therefore useful for controlling marine pollution. We studied two power plants as examples of discharging SSC using continuous measurement techniques. Monitoring sites at intake and discharge points and the surrounding coastal areas of the power plants was conducted across seasons. The first case study, Linkou Power Plant, is located in a high-SSC region influenced by monsoon winds and wave activity. Results indicate that SSC levels at all the monitoring sites are correlated with environmental factors of wind and wave conditions, with strong positive correlations observed between the intake and discharge points. In contrast, the Dalin Power Plant is located within an international harbor, where the SSC levels are generally low; however, sudden increases in SSC are observed at the intake point due to disturbances from vessel activities. These sudden increases are not evident at the discharge point, suggesting a sink of SSC may occur within the system. These results demonstrate that the two studied power plants have limited effects on the increase in SSC; the SSC in the discharge point is mainly related to the SSC input at the intake point. Effective management of SSC at the intake may help mitigate coastal pollution caused by SSC discharge and reduce the risk of harmful substances adhering to suspended solids in the discharging wastewater.

Activities, particularly harbor construction, often exert significant and non-negligible impacts on coastal environments. Therefore, it is of great practical importance to quantitatively assess the effects of such construction on the surrounding topography, such as tidal flats. This study focuses on the coast of Jiangsu Binhai Harbor. Using multi-source and multi-temporal remote sensing images, digital elevation models of tidal flats surrounding Binhai Harbor were generated for the years 2013, 2015, and 2017 through the waterline method. A quantitative analysis was conducted utilizing GIS spatial analysis techniques to examine erosion–deposition patterns, contour changes, and typical cross-sectional comparisons. The findings reveal that, although the overall coastline is in a state of erosion, the localized impacts of harbor construction are evident. Between 2013 and 2017, the northern tidal flats experienced overall erosion, whereas deposition occurred near the harbor’s root areas. Compared to 2013–2015, there was a significant decrease in erosion between 2015 and 2017, indicating that the construction of the project had a significant impact on the northern tidal flats. Throughout the five-year study period, the tidal flats within the breakwater underwent continuous adjustment, shifting from being close to the shoreline to being concentrated on both sides of the breakwater. Significant siltation was observed on the inner side of the breakwater at Binhai Harbor between 2015 and 2017, with an increase of 0.86 km2 in the area above −2 m. This study demonstrates that remote sensing technology is highly effective in monitoring changes in coastal topography, especially under the influence of human activities. Full article
