Remote Sensing and Machine Learning Applications in Coastal Regions

Dear Colleagues,

We invite researchers and practitioners to contribute to our upcoming Special Issue, Remote Sensing and Machine Learning Applications in Coastal Regions. This Issue will explore innovative applications of remote sensing technologies and machine learning methods to address challenges in coastal monitoring, environmental assessment, hazard prediction, and resource management. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to) shoreline change detection, habitat mapping, climate change impacts, disaster response, and autonomous monitoring systems.

This Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive overview of current research and to explore advanced approaches in local and regional-scale applications of remote sensing and numerical modelling.

Authors are encouraged to submit papers on, but not limited to, the following topics:

• River, estuarine and coastal dynamics;
• Innovative applications of satellite, airborne, or land-based sensors in aquatic environments;
• Large-scale image velocimetry and other indirect approaches to achieve flow and wave information;
• Remote sensing applications for coastal erosion and protection;
• Methodologies for flood analysis and risk assessment;
• Informed decision support systems for natural hazards and emergency management;
• Studies of combined hazards under climate change;
• Numerical modelling using remote sensing data for model forcing, calibration, or validation.

We welcome you to join us in advancing the field by sharing your latest findings.

Dr. Andrew Martin Fischer
Guest Editor

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. Coasts is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1000 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.
