Geological Environment and Engineering in Coastal Region

Dear Colleagues,

Coastal region is the interface between the continental interiors and the open ocean with complex geological environment. It houses billions of people and provides abundant resources with economic and engineering value. With the continuous advancement of engineering construction in coastal regions, specified insight and knowledge are required to reduce the geological environment hazards in these invaluable productive areas on the planet.

The present Special Issue, “Geological Environment and Engineering in Coastal Region”, covers the recent advances and future developments concerning geological environment, geological hazards, engineering geology, hydrodynamics, environment fluid and geotechnical engineering in coastal region. In additional to these main topics, we further encourage the submission of original research and synthetic reviews through field investigations, novel data acquisition techniques, laboratory and model experiment researches, new numerical approaches, and the application of artificial intelligence approaches in these fields.

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 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.
