Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Sampling is a comprehensive and detailed method in marine surveying. Deep-sea sampling technology includes drilling core sampling, sediment sampling, pore water sampling, biological sampling, and others. Drilling core sampling is important for understanding mineral deposits and their properties within the seafloor strata, with applications such as the exploration of cobalt-rich ferromanganese crusts or gas hydrates. Sediment sampling is critical to understanding the properties of the seafloor strata and the microorganisms within it. These deep-sea sampling techniques can be widely applied to the exploration of seafloor mineral resources, the investigation into the physical and chemical properties of seafloor strata, extraction research on seafloor microorganisms, and the analysis of marine biological species, playing a vital role in both engineering and scientific fields. The objective of this Special Issue is to collect research papers in the field of deep-sea sampling technology, including those related to the optimization of sampling equipment, development of sampling technology, sample analysis techniques, and beyond.

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.
