Dear Colleagues,
There has been a substantial increase in the intensity, frequency, and duration of extreme natural events (e.g., hurricanes, storms, tsunamis, and landslides) over the past four decades. Given the high population concentration in low-elevation coastal zones, the most pressing challenge for coastal communities is to strengthen their resilience to future coastal disasters. Understanding risk and planning actions ahead of time is critical for improving the ability to adapt to changing conditions and rapidly recovering from disruption caused by these threats. A proper disaster response will reduce disaster-related fatalities, ensure the economic sustainability of coastal communities, and help to maintain coastal ecosystems.
We are pleased to announce that the Journal of Marine Science and Engineering is supporting a new Special Issue focused on "Coastal Disaster Assessment and Response". This Special Issue aims to address the impact of extreme natural events on coastal communities and promote coastal disaster preparedness. Original research articles and reviews are all welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) pre-field, field, post-field surveys, as well as analytical, numerical, and experimental approaches, to assess coastal disaster impacts and responses.
The deadline for manuscript submissions is 1 September 2023.
If you consider submitting your work to our Special Issue, please do keep in mind that open access publishing can be provided free of charge or with a 30% discount depending on the eligibility of the authors and/or papers.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering is an international, peer-reviewed, open access journal published monthly online by MDPI.
