Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the increasing demand for marine structures such as wind turbines, oil and gas platforms and submarine tunnels, the field of marine geotechnics has gained significant attention. The geotechnical properties of seafloor soils, which are continuously exposed to seawater, are quite different from conventional terrestrial soils and exhibit different physical properties. These differences have important implications for the design and construction of marine geotechnical structures.
In this Special Issue, we present research that investigates the behaviour of marine geotechnical structures and evaluates the properties of seafloor soils through site investigations to provide a better understanding of the practical challenges in this field. We hope that this Special Issue will provide new insights into the complexities of marine geotechnical engineering and help to fill existing research gaps.
We welcome submissions on the topic of ‘Marine Geotechnical Applications in Marine Structures’. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to, the physical and numerical modelling of soil–structure interactions, geotechnical properties of the seafloor and site investigations for the design of marine structures.

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.
