Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
There has been a substantial increase in the intensity, frequency, and duration of extreme natural events (e.g., hurricanes, storms, tsunamis, and landslides) over the past four decades. Given the high population concentration in low-elevation coastal zones, the most pressing challenge for coastal communities is to strengthen their resilience to future coastal disasters. Understanding risk and planning actions ahead of time is critical for improving the ability to adapt to changing conditions and rapidly recovering from disruption caused by these threats. A proper disaster response will reduce disaster-related fatalities, ensure the economic sustainability of coastal communities, and help to maintain coastal ecosystems. This Special Issue aims to address the impact of extreme natural events on coastal communities and promote coastal disaster preparedness. Original research articles and reviews are all welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) pre-field, field, post-field surveys, as well as analytical, numerical, and experimental approaches, to assess coastal disaster impacts and responses.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
Dr. Deniz Velioglu Sogut

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.
