**About the Editors**

#### **Pietro Aucelli**

Pietro P.C. Aucelli is a Professor of Physical Geography and Geomorphology at University of Naples "Parthenope" (Italy). Pietro Aucelli's research interests concern thematic in the fields of geomorphology and physical geography, with a specialisation in applied geomorphology, GIS, and Quaternary geology. He is a member of the Teaching Committee for the PhD in "Environmental Phenomena and Risks" at University of Naples "Parthenope". During his scientific activity, he has participated in numerous national research projects and activities of scientific coordination within the bounds of several national projects and agreements between different institutions and universities. He is a member of the Governing Council of the Italian Association of Physical Geography and Geomorphology (AIGeo). Since 2019, he has been the Coordinator of the AIGeo Working Group "Coastal Morphodynamic". Pietro P.C. Aucelli has authored numerous papers published on international and national journals, as well as several contributions in books. He is author of over 125 contributions published on the Scopus database.

#### **Angela Rizzo**

Angela Rizzo is a post-doc researcher at University of Bari Aldo Moro (Italy) at the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences. She achieved her PhD in Coastal Geomorphology in 2017 at University of Naples "Parthenope" (Italy). Her research activity focuses on the analysis of physical and environmental processes affecting coastal areas, with special attention on mobile coastal systems. She is currently working on the evaluation of potential coastal morphological evolution under different sea-level scenarios, as well as on coastal risk assessments. Furthermore, she has technical competence in methodological and operative approaches for the analysis of beach litter distribution and impacts by carrying out direct in situ surveys and applying innovative analysis approaches based on remote sensing data (e.g., UAV images). During her career, she has worked at the CMCC foundation, the Italian research centre on climate change. She collaborates with international colleagues from Spain, Malta, and Colombia. She has co-authored 29 peer reviewed publications in international journals and is a Guest Editor for other Special Issues and Volume (published by MDPI, Elsevier, and Springer). Since 2014, she has been a member of the Italian Association of Physical Geography and Geomorphology (AIGeo).

#### **Rodolfo Silva Casar´ın**

Rodolfo Silva Casar´ın is a Senior Researcher and Professor of Civil Engineering at the Institute of Engineering of the National University of Mexico (UNAM). Rodolfo has a PhD in Coastal and Port Engineering, achieved at the University of Cantabria (Spain). Since 1995, Rodolfo has been the Head of the Coastal and Oceanographic Group at UNAM and the Mexican Centre for Ocean Renewable Energies. He has been the Mexican delegate (since 2011) and the Latin American Regional Coordinator (2017–2019) in the Excellence Center for Development Cooperation–Sustainable Water Management (EXCEED), and the Mexican Delegate in the Ocean Energy System (OES-IEA). He has authored or co-authored over 650 publications and more than 100 technical reports produced for local and national government authorities in Mexico, as well as companies and organizations in several countries.

#### **Giorgio Anfuso**

Giorgio Anfuso, PhD in Marine Science, has been a coastal researcher and Full Professor at University of Cadiz (Spain) in the Faculty of Marine and Environmental Sciences since 1999. For approximately 25 years, he has studied coastal processes at different time scales, from hours (by sediment transport and disturbance depth campaigns), days, months (by field surveys and monitoring programs), to decadal coastal evolution by means of aerial photos and satellite image analysis. He has also worked on management issues, environmental sensitivity maps for oil spilling, coastal scenery, and litter characteristics and distribution, carrying out investigations in Spain, Italy, Morocco, Ireland, Colombia, Cuba, Mexico, and Ecuador, among other countries. He has participated in different national and international projects focused on beach morphology, evolution, and responses to storm impacts. He has co-authored more than 100 peer-reviewed publications in international journals.
