Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the continuous advancement of coastal and geotechnical engineering construction in marine environments, and also with the emerging need for offshore renewable energy infrastructure (including bottom-fixed and floating wind, tidal, OWC devices, etc.), the topic of wave-seabed-structure interactions and the associated foundation stability near coastal and offshore installations has attracted a great deal of attention from academic researchers and industry consultants. Consequently, the objective of this Special Issue is to collect research papers in the field of marine hazards, including geological environments, marine geology, hydrodynamics, fluid environments, wave-seabed interactions, and the associated liquefaction and scouring processes; the stability of marine infrastructure; sediment transport in marine environments; the application of artificial intelligence to the prediction and assessment of marine geotechnics; the protection of marine infrastructure, etc. This Special Issue invites contributions comprising in situ observations, laboratory tests, numerical simulations, and theoretical analyses on the above research areas. In addition to research articles, contributions may also take the form of case studies and review articles. We warmly invite contributions from researchers and practitioners seeking to advance understanding of wave–seabed–structure interactions and ensure the resilience of future marine infrastructure.

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.
