Monitoring and Analysis of Coastal Hazard Risks

Dear Colleagues,

Coastal hazards pose significant risks to communities, infrastructure, and ecosystems worldwide. Monitoring and analyzing these risks are essential for effective disaster preparedness, response, and mitigation efforts. This Special Issue invites researchers, practitioners, and experts to contribute their research on the monitoring and analysis of coastal hazard risks to enhance our understanding and management of these critical threats.

We welcome submissions on a wide range of topics related to the monitoring and analysis of coastal hazard risks, including (but not limited to) the following:

• Typhoon, hurricane, and storm surge monitoring: Utilizing remote sensing data and modeling techniques to monitor hurricanes, tropical storms, and storm surge events along coastal regions.
• Coastal flooding and erosion: Assessing coastal flooding and erosion risks using geospatial data, LiDAR, and numerical modeling to understand vulnerability and resilience.
• Tsunami detection and early warning systems: Developing and evaluating tsunami detection systems and early warning mechanisms to mitigate the impacts of tsunamis on coastal communities.
• Climate change adaptation: Studying the impacts of climate change on coastal hazard risks, including sea level rise, extreme weather events, and changing coastal dynamics.
• Risk assessment and mapping: Conducting risk assessments and mapping exercises to identify high-risk areas, vulnerable populations, critical infrastructure, and natural habitats.
• Integrated coastal hazard management: Implementing integrated approaches that combine monitoring, analysis, and stakeholder engagement to effectively manage coastal hazard risks.

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. Journal of Marine Science and Engineering 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 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.
