Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We invite researchers and scholars to contribute to the Special Issue titled “Coastal Hydrology and Climate Change: Challenges and Solutions”. This Special Issue aims to explore the complex interplay between climate change, nutrient dynamics, and coastal hydrology. With climate change, rising sea levels, saltwater intrusion, and crop yield reduction increasingly threatening coastal ecosystems and economies worldwide, understanding the drivers contributing to these impacts is more critical than ever.

This Special Issue seeks high-quality research and review articles that examine the impacts of climate change on water resources, nutrient cycling, the role of anthropogenic nutrient enrichment, and how coastal hydrology contributes to water degradation. We welcome submissions from a wide range of disciplines, including (i) hydrology, (ii) climate change, (iii) human resilience under changing climate, (iv) coastal processes, (v) nature-based solutions, (vi) environmental economics, and (vii) sustainable coastal ecosystem. Interdisciplinary research, case studies, and innovative methodological approaches are particularly welcomed and encouraged.

Join us in advancing scientific knowledge to maintain coastal resilience. Submit your manuscripts and take advantage of this Special Issue, where we will work with you to showcase your research and help it reach a broad, interdisciplinary audience.

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. Coasts is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1000 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.
