Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Coastal dynamics are currently affected by the climate change in a variety of ways. Coasts are very sensitive areas, especially when it comes to the complex interaction between the atmosphere and the sea, intertwined with human activity. Warmer ocean temperatures, increased precipitation, sea level rise, increased intensity and frequency of storms, and many other factors are significantly affecting the dynamics of these areas, making them more vulnerable than the open ocean. Consequences are numerous, from coastal erosion to the acidification of the coastal sea.
Therefore, with recognition of the importance of the subject, this Special Issue is dedicated to research on the dynamics of coastal areas under the changing climate.
Topics of interest may include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Air–sea interaction in the changing climate;
- Coastal ocean dynamics influenced by climate change;
- Investigation of the coastal dynamics with atmospheric and ocean climate models;
- Teleconnection and coastal processes;
- Neural networks and climate change;
- Impact of climate change on the ocean ecosystem.

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. Climate is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 1800 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.
