Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Rising sea levels and increasingly frequent extreme weather events, combined with the rapid growth of coastal populations, emphasize the urgent need for advanced risk assessment and mitigation in coastal and low-lying areas.
For this Special Issue, we welcome high-quality, collaborative research on the impacts of climate change and coastal processes, aimed at strengthening the resilience of vulnerable coastal regions. Original research, case studies, and reviews that advance knowledge in climate risk, vulnerability, and adaptation are encouraged for submission.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Coastal flooding under present and future climate scenarios;
- Hydrological and hydrodynamical modeling;
- GIS and remote sensing-based hazard assessment and mapping;
- Nature-based and engineered coastal protection measures;
- Socioeconomic impacts and community-level adaptation strategies;
- Integrated risk management and policy frameworks for resilience building.
We welcome submissions in the form of research articles, reviews, brief communications, case studies, commentaries, registered reports, opinions, and data reports.
