Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues
Around 40% of the global population lives within 100 km of the coast, which is under pressure from the combined effects of climate change and development. Coastal communities are increasingly facing challenges from rising sea levels, increased rates of erosion and the impacts of warming seas on wildlife and habitats that support livelihoods. Coastal landslide activity is likely to increase under future climate change with projected increases in storminess, precipitation, erosion and wave activity putting additional pressure on infrastructure and communities located within the coastal zone. To develop resilience to this changing environment, ‘wholescape process understanding’ assesses and quantifies the interaction of natural processes that drive coastal change. These include hydrogeological, geological, geotechnical, ecological, coastal and marine processes, as well as human interactions and behaviour, all over different spatial and temporal scales. This Special Issue focusses on advances in wholescape process understanding, monitoring and characterising coastal landslide processes, nature-based solutions aimed at mitigating coastal degradation and novel approaches for hazard assessment at the coast.

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.
