Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Coastal zones are highly dynamic and complex environments. They are continuously subjected to several physical processes including hydrometeorological, morphological, and biological processes. Such processes occur at different timescales (short events to long-term trends), leading to multi-timescale responses in coastal systems to the combined effects of natural and anthropogenic drivers.
Integrating the different components of coastal changes requires an extensive collection of datasets for monitoring nearshore dynamics (SSH, SWH), coastal hydro-morphodynamics, including shoreline position, and beach evolution. The assessment of multi-timescale dynamic is most effectively achieved through a diverse array of remote sensing (RS) techniques. The use of RS techniques depends on the spatial and temporal scales of interest in regard to the physical process in question. Studying the interaction between several processes requires a coupling between different sensors deployed across terrestrial, airborne, and spaceborne platforms to overcome the drawbacks of each sensor type used separately.
The main objective of this Special Issue is to highlight the relevance of remote sensing for investigating the dynamics of coastal components exposed to various external and internal drivers. It addresses the development of (1) different RS-based coastal applications, (2) innovative approaches for optimizing the use of RS, and (3) the interaction between them.
We kindly invite the submissions of reviews and original contributions in this field.

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.
