Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue of Water will focus on the application of high-resolution geophysical methods in coastal areas. The broader goal is to examine how geophysical methods can be used to study the shallow subsurface to detect, analyze, and interpret Holocene-to-recent processes of tectonics and geology and their effect on human populations. These processes can include (but are not limited to) gas release from the seafloor and its contribution to global warming, tsunamis, neotectonics, and sea level rise. It is well known that the coast has been a focal point of human settlements for thousands of years. On the other hand, these areas are highly sensitive to natural processes that often cause conflict with those living nearby. Examining the ever-shifting interface between land and sea is of particular interest, as is the question of how ancient settlers shaped their natural environment and, in doing so, changed geological processes. Papers examining new scientific approaches as well as the development of unique and innovative methods or tools are also welcome.

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.
