Monitoring and Modelling Techniques for Sea Environment and Sustainable Development

Dear Colleagues,

The main focus of this special issue is an up-to-date report on the state of the art of all aspects of marine studies, remote sensing (satellite, video, drone etc.), and sea modelling to support marine sustainable development.

Ocean and coastal zones represent a complex dynamic natural and human interrelated processes. Many physical phenomena, such as wind waves, swell, tides and wave driven currents are the dominant mechanisms which govern the physical and biological processes in the sea environment and can be affected in some regions by the anthropic activities. The study of these phenomena requires a multi-disciplinary approach and the implementation of monitoring techniques at different spatial and temporal scales.

Contributions dealing with innovative monitoring techniques, including remote sensing and management of the relevant processes, numerical models of the biophysical and/or physical processes of the sea environment, pollution in coastal areas and coastal protection are strongly encouraged.
