Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Worldwide, hard structures are used as flood protection measures. These structures are static and do not respond to changing boundary conditions, such as sea level rise and increasing storminess. Moreover, the energy released during extreme events is hardly dissipated, resulting in enormous losses and damage. Therefore, innovative and sustainable solutions for flood defense stability, both technical and societal, are called upon. These measures allow for economic growth in coastal and deltaic regions, which are the world’s most valuable areas.
In this Special Issue “Resilient Flood Defenses” we invite authors to submit papers that focus on process-based understanding of flood defense systems, as well as the effectiveness of solutions for flood risk reduction. Especially, topics related to nature-based solutions, climate change effects, and related management solutions are encouraged.

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.
