Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Shaping the coastal landscape and environments, land–ocean interaction has played a fundamental role in the development of human activities and communities for millennia. The recent awareness of the ongoing climate change has focused the attention on several factors that, in the future, could strongly influence coastal evolution all over the world, such as changes in sedimentary and energetic balances, local and global sea-level rise, increasing extreme marine events, vertical land movements, and anthropogenic pressures. All these processes could compromise the natural balance of coastal systems, also affecting economic activities and communities. This implies that a deep knowledge of the influence of different processes on coastal dynamics is needed for an integrated management of the coastal system. This Special Issue aims to highlight recent progress in i) anthropogenic pressure on the coastal areas, ii) coastal morphodynamics in the last 5000 years, iii) climate change, coastal flooding, and sea-level rise, iv) extreme marine events and their relationship with climate change, v) coastal and underwater landforms, vi) human footprints on the land–ocean environment, and vii) environmental pollution and marine litter.

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.
