Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In order to advance research on submarine geological hazards and their impacts, the Journal of Marine Science and Engineering (JMSE, IF: 2.9) is organizing a Special Issue entitled "Submarine Geology and Geological Disasters". We cordially invite researchers to contribute original research articles, reviews, and case studies that explore the mechanisms, monitoring, and mitigation of submarine geological hazards.
This Special Issue will focus on, but is not limited to, the following topics:
- Submarine landslides and their triggers;
- Seismic and volcanic hazards in marine environments;
- Tsunami generation and propagation from seabed disturbances;
- Gas hydrates and their role in slope instability;
- Geohazard risk assessment and early warning systems.
- Advances in marine geophysical surveying, site investigation and hazard detection.
Scholars are invited to submit their research papers to this Special Issue. All contributions are welcomed and will be highly appreciated.

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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
