Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Journal of Marine Science and Engineering is pleased to announce a Special Issue entitled “Advances in Marine Geotechnical Engineering—2nd Edition”, which is based on the great success of our previous Special Issue with the same title.
This Special Issue aims to advance different state-of-the-art survey methods in marine geotechnical engineering, marine material property determination and site investigation, constitutive models of marine geotechnical materials, and marine structural response analysis through experiments, numerical simulations, and field seafloor scour.
Advances in marine geotechnical engineering can be achieved via the application of scientific knowledge and engineering techniques to the investigation of seafloor materials and the characterization of the seafloor’s physical properties. Seafloor soil behavior in relation to infrastructural construction on the seafloor is poorly understood. With the rapid development of marine resource exploration in recent years, coastal geohazard and offshore geotechnical engineering have attracted the attention of coastal geotechnical engineers and made significant progress. Authors are encouraged to submit theoretical, numerical, experimental, and applied articles addressing this theme. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following research topics:
- Characterization of variable seafloors;
- Coupling reactions of submarine sediments subjected to dynamic stresses;
- Geological and geotechnical aspects of coastal/offshore infrastructure design and construction;
- Hydrodynamic studies of maritime structures;
- Prediction and protection against geohazards;
- Stability of submarine slopes and massive and filled structures;
- Environmental compatibility;
- Protection against high water levels and swell.

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.
