Coastal Hazards and Safety 2nd Edition
This special issue belongs to the section "Hazards and Sustainability".
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Coastal hazards, influenced by natural and human factors, pose significant economic, environmental, and safety challenges. The escalating impact of these threats, driven by climate change and increased coastal activities, necessitates a strong commitment to sustainability in coastal engineering.
This Special Issue serves as a vital platform for exploring sustainable solutions to coastal hazards. We welcome state-of-the-art research, case studies, and lessons learned, emphasizing sustainability in addressing challenges such as erosion, storm tide inundation, submarine slope stability, liquefaction, solute transport, local scour, fluid–structure interactions, and tsunami-induced hazards.
We invite contributions using analytical, spatial, mathematical, and numerical methods, as well as field investigations and modeling. By integrating sustainability throughout, this Special Issue aims to enhance our understanding of coastal hazards and promote resilient, sustainable practices in coastal engineering.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Sustainability 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 2400 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.
