Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Coastal regions are home to approximately 40% of the world’s population, and these complex and sensitive environments are essential to human well-being and environmental stability. Coastal evolution is affected by the impacts of climate change, including rising sea levels and the increasing frequency and/or severity of storms. Coastal vulnerability depends on the combined effects of different hydrodynamic and morphodynamic processes, as well as exposure to erosion and marine flooding hazards and coastal risk management strategies.
Facing these threats, understanding coastal dynamics, and developing sustainable coastal management plans require the development of accurate tools for monitoring and modeling coastal evolution, which is necessary for improving our resilience to coastal risks. These developments should consider diverse approaches using both natural observations, including air- and space-borne techniques, and modelling, ranging from equilibrium/reduced complexity to numerical models, as well as their coupling with artificial intelligence (AI) techniques. We kindly invite submissions of reviews and original contributions in this field.

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.
