Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are delighted to introduce this Special Issue, "Analysis of Coastal Sediment".
The overall focus of this collection is to conduct in-depth and comprehensive discussions on the acoustic, physical and chemical properties of coastal sediments and other related aspects. It covers important topics such as the detailed analysis of how the physical structure and chemical composition of coastal sediments affect acoustic characteristics; the significant differences in the acoustic, physical and chemical responses of different types of sediments; and even the burial mechanism of small targets on the nearshore seabed. The purpose is to collect the latest research results to promote comprehensive understanding of the characteristics of coastal sediments, providing a solid theoretical foundation and practical guidance for fields such as ocean acoustics, coastal dynamics, and geosciences and promoting the further development of related fields.
In terms of the current research in the literature, this Special Issue will play a key role in its supplementation and expansion. Currently, the research on the characteristics of coastal sediments is rather fragmented and lacks systematic integration. This Special Issue will be committed to integrating research results from multiple aspects and conducting in-depth analyses from different perspectives. Through such efforts, it will systematically and thoroughly strengthen the literature in this field. It will closely interact with and complement the existing literature on the study of sediment characteristics, further enriching the knowledge system in this research field and promoting the research on the characteristics of coastal sediments to move forward in a more in-depth, comprehensive, and systematic direction.

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. Water is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
