Marine Geohazards: Characterization to Prediction

Dear Colleagues,

We are delighted to announce this Special Issue, entitled "Marine Geohazards: Characterization to Prediction", in the Journal of Marine Science and Engineering. This Special Issue aims to collate cutting-edge research and advancements in the field of marine geohazards.

Marine environments present unique challenges for engineering geologists and geohazard researchers. Understanding the geological processes specific to these environments is vital for the sustainable development of coastal infrastructure and the safeguarding of coastal communities. Despite these challenges, research in marine geohazards also presents significant opportunities. Technological advancements offer new possibilities for exploring and monitoring marine geological processes. Collaboration across disciplines and international borders further enhances our ability to tackle these challenges effectively.

We invite the submission of original research articles, reviews, and case studies that address various aspects of marine geohazards and related fields, including the following:

• Identification and assessment of marine geohazards;
• Impact of climate change on marine geohazards;
• Case studies and lessons learned from marine geohazard events;
• Advances in marine geohazard monitoring and prediction;
• Advances in marine geological survey techniques;
• Sediment dynamics and geotechnical properties;
• Submarine landslides and slope stability;
• Marine mineral resources and geohazards;
• Development and application of prediction models for marine geohazards.

We encourage researchers, engineers, and practitioners to contribute to this Special Issue, where we aim to advance our understanding of marine geohazards and promote sustainable marine development practices.

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. Journal of Marine Science and Engineering is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2600 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.
