Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue of Water aims to gather high-quality original research articles in the field of coastal geomorphology, morphodynamics, and sedimentology.
We seek articles that aim to expand our current understanding of coastal morphodynamics, especially in areas where substantial scientific challenges remain. These include advancing our understanding of extreme events on the coast and forecasting the morphodynamic evolution of coastal systems on scales relevant to planning and management.
The objective of this Special Issue is to provide the reader with recent advances in coastal geomorphology, morphodynamics, and sedimentology studies. In particular, the submission of articles on the relationships between climate change and anthropogenic impacts on coastal geomorphology, morphodynamics, and sedimentology is encouraged.
Therefore, we invite you to submit articles with respect to the above and/or the following topics:
- Coastal and estuarine change under extreme conditions;
- Novel techniques in coastal monitoring and modelling;
- Long-term morphodynamic evolution of coastal systems;
- Remote sensing of coastal systems;
- Sediment budgets in coastal systems;
- Human interaction with the coast;
- Application of morphodynamics models in the field.
Articles may focus on any coastal systems, such as beaches, estuaries, and deltas.

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. Water is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
