Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce the opening of the call for papers for a Special Issue of Climate (ISSN: 2225-1154; https://www.mdpi.com/journal/climate) entitled “The Impact of Climate Change on Ocean and Coastal Areas”.
Ocean and coastal areas are among the most complex and fragile environments and climate change is already having a significant impact. Global warming is changing global and regional climate patterns and coastal areas are already experiencing its effects such as sea level rise and exacerbation of meteorological events. Coastal erosion and inundation issues are affecting ever-larger areas with impacts on both the economic and ecological system. Hence, long-term sustainable solutions are needed and in-depth studies about marine and coastal effects are an essential step for planning effective interventions.
This Special Issue aims to promote a discussion on climate change effects on coastal areas and the related challenges.
Potential topics include but are not limited to:
- Direct and indirect effects of climate change;
- Wind and wave climate change;
- Impacts of climate change on coastal eco-hydrological systems;
- Ocean currents and climate change;
- In-situ surveys and earth observation;
- Management and assessment of coastal risk caused by climate change;
- Sea level rise and coastal inundation;
- Sustainable management of coastal areas;
- Stakeholder perception of climate change effects.
