Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The objective of the third Special Issue “Advances in Sedimentology and Coastal and Marine Geology” is to continue the collection of research papers in the field of sedimentology and coastal and marine geology, as started in the first and the second Special Issues. The development of advanced MBEs systems and techniques, equipped on the Gaia Blu R/V of the National Research Council of Italy (CNR) has improved the knowledge of the sea bottoms of the Mediterranean Sea, and, in particular, of the Bay of Naples, hosted in the Campania-Latium continental margin. Here, the interaction with volcanic processes is strong, and renewal Campi Flegrei caldera uplift is still ongoing in the frame of a new bradyseismic crisis, still in course. Consequently, increased gas emissions, ground uplift, and earthquakes involve the densely inhabited Neapolitan area. In this tectonic and volcanic framework, we call for papers in the field of coastal and marine geology, including also volcano-tectonic processes, monitoring of earthquakes and bradyseism, controlling the stratigraphic organization of volcanic and sedimentary sequences.

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.
