Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Coastal areas represent one of the most vulnerable environments worldwide due to their high population densities and the pressure of human activities; sea level rise and increases in stormy weather due to climate change are expected to increase coastal flooding and intensify the frequency and magnitude of coastal impacts, posing a threat to coastal communities. The population exposed to coastal flooding is predicted to increase to up to 1.52–3.65 million by the end of the century. Meanwhile, there are also many ports and coastal and marine infrastructures that also place tremendous pressure on coastal and marine environments and their management. It is important, therefore, to strive for improved coastal management and marine environmental sustainability.
- We invite you to submit your latest research works on subjects including, but not limited to:
- Environmentally friendly structures, coatings, construction technologies, and management;
- Environmentally friendly water quality inspection technology;
- Environmentally friendly soil inspection techniques;
- Foundations or structures suitable for soft soil;
- Utilization technology of dredged silt;
- Coastal and offshore energy systems;
- Utilization technology for dredged silt;
- Smart and green port infrastructure construction and operation;
- Safe ports and emergency management;
- Green building materials;
- Oceanwater resource utilization;
- Sea level rise;
The safety and durability of coastal and offshore infrastructure.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
