Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Coasts are shaped by natural processes and anthropogenic interventions. They are exposed to subsidence and long-term processes (such as sea level rise, wave climate variability, and coastal sediment balance changes), some of which are linked to climate changes. Other natural processes act over short timescales (e.g., coastal storms, tectonic events), seasonal to annual timescales (e.g., summer/winter beach profile changes, beach accretion/erosion), over decades (e.g., El Niño Southern Oscillation), or even with unpredictable occurrences (e.g., hurricanes and tsunamis). Human actions generally affect the coast at multiple time and space scales. The accurate understanding of coastal processes at all these scales allows us to better inform coastal managers and reverse the negative impacts on the coast.
Wave hydrodynamics range from short-wave propagation, wave run-up and swash, short–long wave interaction, non-linear wave dynamics, and wave–current interactions, amongst others. The effect of these actions on sedimentary bottoms (mud, sand, and gravel), or at soft-rock coastal formations, govern sediment transport and coastal morphological changes.
This Special Issue is aimed at collecting and publishing the most recent advances in coastal processes and wave hydrodynamics. We welcome contributions from novel observational and experimental technologies, single and across-scale numerical modeling, theoretical developments, cross-shore and alongshore wave–current–sediment–morphology interactions and new datasets on wave hydrodynamics and coastal process experiments.

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.
