Past Practice and Future Prospects in Coastal Environmental Reconstructions

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue will focus on the best practice and prospects in coastal environmental reconstruction. Coastal environments include highly sensitive depositional systems and may, therefore, record the main morpho-climatic variations, reflecting depositional systems. Besides the natural control factors, the coastal areas have recorded the impact of the human settlement on the depositional environments. The sedimentary record and the related coastal geomorphologic modification may control the shifting of the coastal and marine facies during relative sea level fluctuations.

We welcome you to submit a paper to the Special Issue “Best Practice and Future Prospects in Coastal Environmental Reconstruction”, including main issues on seismic and sequence stratigraphy in coastal environments, facies analysis of coastal sequences, marine micropaleontology, coastal vulnerability and coastal hazard through GIS methodologies, and micropaleontological and sedimentological reconstruction of coastal environments, also in the Late Holocene. Geoarcheological issues are also welcome. High-resolution chronostratigraphic research, focusing on tephrostratigraphy, is also invited

Best regards,

Dr. Gemma Aiello
Guest Editor

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-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Quaternary 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 1600 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.
