Data Modelling for Coastal-Ocean Environments and Disasters

Dear Colleagues,

Data modeling plays an important role in assessing coastal ocean environments and disasters. In recent years, coastal environments have drawn increasing awareness globally, regionally, or locally as in many coastal regions, the rapid industrial, urban, and agricultural development has caused dramatic changes in land use and land cover (LULC) and various water pollution events in coastal environments. Such environmental consequences by human activities exacerbate the effects of regional and global climate change on the interaction between land and sea, and these effects are frequently hazardous or destructive to estuarine or coastal areas around the world.

This Special Issue on “Data Modeling for Coastal Ocean Environments and Disasters” invites original research articles as well as review articles that focus ongoing efforts on understanding land–ocean interaction, their response to global climate change, and effect on coastal environments through Earth observations and ship-based measurements. The suggested topics are relevant but not limited to the study of coastal ocean data modeling, physical ocean parameters, coastal disasters induced by typhoons and storms, coastal land use change, coastal vegetation and ecosystem, water pollution, river and coastal engineering or coastal urbanization with their impacts on coastal environments, including typhoon and storms, coastal pollution, and hazards, such as coastline change and coastal erosion, water pollution, red tide, oil spill, etc.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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-anonymized 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 semimonthly 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.
