Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, entitled ‘Marine Geophysical Exploration and Underwater Digital Twin Technology Application’, addresses the innovative combination of marine geophysics and digital twin technology. The aim of this Special Issue is to explore the application of advanced geophysical methods for the detailed mapping and understanding of the marine environment. We encourage the submission of papers that consider how digital twin technology, which provides a digital replica of physical assets, processes and systems, can be applied in a subsea context. Other topics of interest include the potential application of digital twins in enhancing our predictive capabilities, in optimizing maritime operations and enhancing decision-making processes. We particularly encourage the publication of expert research in this area, case studies and reviews of recent technological developments. The aim of this Special Issue is to foster dialogue and collaboration between scientists, experts in the field and policy makers to realize the potential application of these technologies in the sustainable and efficient exploration and management of our marine resources. This Special Issue is a must-read for those interested in the future of marine exploration and the application of digital technologies.

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.
