Recent Advances in Iberian Coastal Geomorphology

Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to announce a new Topic titled “Recent Advances in Iberian Coastal Geomorphology”, with papers from different scientific fields related to coastal geomorphology in the Iberian region. The characterisation of coastal forms as beaches, cliffs, dunes, and nearshore spaces constitutes a topic garnering great attention considering their great environmental and social interest. The risks caused by climate change, the anthropic pressure derived from growing tourism, the occupation of coastal territories, and the adverse effects of increasingly frequent and energetic coastal storms make the Iberian region an area with an especially sensitive coastline. It is therefore necessary to understand how these phenomena affect coastline forms and processes and how this knowledge can help us reduce these adverse effects and better manage and conserve the valuable resource that is our coast The aim of this collection is to highlight the contribution of recent techniques, methods, and applications in remote sensing, marine science and engineering, and geosciences to the study of coastal geomorphology. The topics include, but not are limited to:

• Remote sensing applications in coastal zones, methodologies, and algorithms: evolution and change studies, detection of coastal landforms and processes, shoreline extraction satellite bathymetry, three-dimensional measurements, classification methods, etc;
• Coastal engineering solutions, dune evolution and management, marine environment, sediment and beach dynamics, coastal management, etc;
• Studies in hydrology, palaeontology, landform processes, etc;
• Drone applications in coastal geomorphology studies, monitoring change detection, marine science, etc;
• Cartographic applications.
