Advancements in Deep-Sea Equipment and Technology, 3rd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

The conflict between populations, resources and the environment in the twenty-first century has made the ocean a strategic space in which human society can achieve sustainable development. To study the ocean environment and exploit ocean resources, a fundamental understanding of complex and interwoven ocean processes across a broad range of spatial and temporal observational scales is required. This understanding is heavily reliant on the use of various research fleets and equipment that support increasingly complex, multidisciplinary, multi-investigator research projects, including those in support of autonomous technologies, ocean monitoring and observing systems, remote sensing and on-site sampling, and modeling. Various underwater submersibles are the main working forces for the research fleet. This is the third Special Issue of a continuous series of this field; relevant experts are invited to report the latest progress on Developments in Deep-Sea Equipment and Technology.

In this Special Issue, relevant experts are invited to report the latest progress on Developments in Deep-Sea Equipment and Technology. These include autonomous technologies, ocean monitoring and observing systems, remote sensing and on-site sampling, and modeling. This volume is a continuation of two previous Special Issues.

We particularly welcome papers on the design, analysis, and testing of various new methods, theories, sensors and equipment used in deep-sea technology areas. In particular, this Special Issue will work in close cooperation with the 14th International SUT (China) Technical Conference. We will encourage authors participating in this conference to submit their extended papers to this Special Issue and welcome interested authors to attend this conference.

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-anonymized 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.
