Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The increasing availability of remote sensing big-data, combined with advances in artificial intelligence (AI), is transforming our ability to assess and understand estuarine, coastal, and marine environments at global, regional, and local scales. These environmental settings have become focal points of public concern due to their sensitivity to both natural and human-induced changes.
Rapid urbanization, coastline change, and sea level rise have amplified the impacts of climate change. These processes significantly affect or contribute to land-ocean-atmosphere interactions, often with destructive consequences for human development and coastal resilience.
With the emergence of cloud computing, machine learning, and other AI technologies, remote sensing big-data can now be processed and analyzed at unprecedented speed and scale. This leads to new opportunities for advancing scientific understanding and developing solutions for the sustainable management of coastal and marine systems.
This special issue aims to highlight cutting-edge research and innovative applications of big-data and AI in estuarine, coastal, and marine sciences. We invite original research articles and review papers addressing, but not limited to, the topics outlined below:
- Application of AI and big-data methods in oceanography
- Big-data processing for coastal and ocean environments
- Coastal-ocean environments and ecosystems with AI
- Water pollution and red tide (or oil spills) with AI or big-data
- Coastal erosion and coastline change using big-data or AI
- Sea level rise and climate change with AI
- Ocean-atmosphere interaction with big-data
- Ocean reanalysis big data
- Wind field and wave estimation using AI
- Typhoon impact and disaster using big-data and AI
- Estuarine engineering and coastal infrastructure with AI or big-data

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.
