Coastal Engineering: Sustainability and New Technologies
This special issue belongs to the section “Coastal Engineering“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Coastal engineering is a discipline in continuous evolution, where it is essential to seek a balance between the natural character of the coastal zone and the integration to a greater or lesser extent of human activities in that space.
The present Special Issue aims to gather scientific articles dealing with any aspect of coastal engineering related to the sustainability or use of new technologies. All papers can be focused on the past, the present or what is expected in the future (short, medium, and long term). Papers must in some way show concepts related to sustainability or to the use of new technologies.
Examples of topics that are welcome in the Special Issue are environmental aspects related to maritime works (coastal, port, and offshore activities), coastal evolution, climate change, sea level rise and its influence in the design, construction, and/or maintenance of maritime infrastructures, sustainability aspects in the sea, marine renewable energies, including offshore wind, and novel aspects such as the use of new materials, the calculation of the carbon footprint, the use of neural networks, the use of BIM, etc.
This list is an example of the topics that are intended to be covered in the Special Issue, where innovative papers on coastal engineering are welcomed.
