Coastal dynamics

The coast is a highly dynamic region where land and ocean meet. The various coastal landforms are shaped primarily by oceanic currents, sea level changes, and waves, but are also influenced by geological, climatic, and biological processes, and the complex interactions between them. Coastal regions are vital for human communities, yet anthropogenic activities, coupled with climate change and rising sea levels, have become one of the major forces shaping coastal areas. To avoid hazards, there is a constant need for integrated management and active protection of the coastline through hard and soft engineering approaches.
This Collection welcomes original and interdisciplinary research from all fields of geology, hydrology, engineering and environmental sciences, with a focus on coastal regions, their natural dynamic evolution and long-term management.
