Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The consequences of global warming already affect hydrodynamics and morphodynamics in our coastal zones. Sea level rise, for instance, changes tides and storm surges, which in turn shape the morphology of coasts, estuaries, and river deltas. To disentangle natural variability and anthropohenically driven long-term trends, a sound understanding of present-day hydrodynamic and morphodynamic processes is necessary. This knowledge is a prerequiste to develop feasible adaption measures to cope with the adverse effects of climate change.
The Special Issue will focus on the interaction between past and future sea level rise with coastal hydro- and morphodynamics. We welcome contributions either based on observations or numerical modeling, which can aid in the understanding of present-day morphodynamics, quantification of changes in the recent past and likely future changes. The overall aim of this Special Issue is to provide an overview of changes in the coastal morphodynamics for different types of coastal zone (e.g. deltas, tidal flats or beaches) in response to sea level change. Therefore, representative case studies as well as more general process descriptions for different coastal regimes are encouraged.

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. Water 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.

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.
