About this Research Topic
Coastal environments play a pivotal role in the development of human societies, which provides crucial resources for fishing, transportation, and commerce. However, the intensifying exploitation of these resources has led to the degradation of the ecological environment and a variety of environmental issues, such as pollution and habitat destruction. Also, the increasing frequency and severity of extreme weather events due to climate change have rendered coastal areas more vulnerable. To address these challenges, interdisciplinary investigations are needed to develop effective and efficient strategies for disaster prevention and mitigation in coastal areas, which encompasses monitoring and predicting marine disasters as well as implementing measures to alleviate their impacts on coastal communities and ecosystems. In addition, the development of offshore industries, such as marine new energy initiatives for oil and gas production, poses challenges for coastal marine ecosystem management.
This Research Topic aims to explore the interplay between coastal marine environmental dynamics and ecosystem protection, which facilitates a better understanding of promoting sustainable development in coastal areas. We welcome Original Research and Review articles addressing the advances and applications of remote sensing techniques, in-situ investigations, theoretical analyses, laboratory experiments, numerical simulations, and machine learning models.
Potential themes for publication include, but are not limited to:
• Analytical and numerical approaches on investigating coastal marine environmental dynamics, e.g., mechanisms and characteristics of coastal marine sediment formation
• Analytical and numerical approaches on examining coastal marine ecosystem protection, e.g., impacts of tides, coastal erosion, and human activities on coastal marine ecosystems
• Quantitative risk analysis of geological disasters in coastal areas, e.g., offshore landslides, coastal dike breach flood, tsunami susceptibility, and hazard mapping at different scales
• Assessment of marine resources development, e.g., design and maintenance of structures for marine culture and marine new energy facilities
