Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Journal of Marine Science and Engineering is delighted to introduce the Special Issue, “Coastal Disaster Assessment and Response—2nd Edition”, building on the success of the previous edition with the same title.
Over the past decades, coastal hazards have significantly increased in both intensity and frequency, posing escalating risks to communities, infrastructure, and ecosystems. Given the high population densities in low-elevation coastal zones, the urgency to enhance disaster preparedness, response, and long-term sustainability has never been greater. A key challenge lies in developing adaptive mitigation strategies that not only address immediate disaster response but also foster resilient coastal communities.
This Special Issue seeks to explore innovative approaches to disaster risk reduction, emergency preparedness, and recovery efforts tailored to the unique vulnerabilities of coastal regions. We invite contributions that examine cutting-edge methodologies for risk assessment, real-time disaster response, post-disaster reconstruction, and proactive mitigation measures that integrate environmental and technological considerations to advance in sustainable coastal development.
We welcome original studies employing diverse methodologies, including analytical modeling, numerical simulations, experimental investigations, and field-based assessments, to enhance our understanding of coastal disaster dynamics. Interdisciplinary perspectives that bridge science, engineering, and community engagement are highly valued. By fostering knowledge exchange, this Special Issue aims to contribute to more effective disaster management practices and sustainable solutions that safeguard coastal ecosystems against future hazards.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
Dr. Deniz Velioglu Sogut
