Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The mixing of river freshwater with highly salty seawater in estuaries along with river sediment transport toward the sea and tidal landward sediment transport make estuaries one of the most complex hydrodynamic environments. Adding the influences of human activities, like dike constructions, dredging, ship navigation pollution-end erosion, and finally, sea-level rising that leads to coastal urban flooding, all are approving the necessity of a series of studies on "The Integrated Rivers and Estuaries Interactions and Hydrodynamics". This Special Issue will publish the latest contributions in this field as research articles. Researchers from both academia and industry are welcome to submit original articles that advance state-of-the-art research in estuary hydrodynamics.
Topics include but are not limited to the following:
- Estuary salt intrusion hydrodynamics
- Coastal urban flooding, sea-level rise and estuary morphology
- Estuary and riverbank protection from ship-induced waves
- Navigation and river-estuary pollution
- River-estuary sedimentation and dredging

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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
