Coastal Water Quality Observation and Numerical Modeling

Dear Colleagues,

Coastal systems issue multiple ecosystem services, such as aquaculture, marine transportation, water quality regulation, and tourism, providing resilience to coastal communities. These systems are under a multitude of pressures and threats that may affect their environmental quality. The increase in human activities in coastal areas and climate change may exacerbate the impacts and increase the vulnerability of coastal populations.

This Special Issue intends to collect original research articles on all aspects of coastal water quality, presenting a platform for researchers to share their latest findings and exchange ideas on this topic. We invite high-quality research papers on various topics related to coastal water quality monitoring and simulation, including coastal water quality and environmental contamination assessment, numerical modeling of coastal water quality, in situ monitoring and Earth observations, impacts of land-driven contaminants, impacts of climate change, coastal forecast systems, and coastal planning and management. By enhancing our understanding of coastal water quality through these studies, we will contribute to improving the management and conservation of coastal environments.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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 semimonthly 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.
