Special Issue Book [B.01] "Modelling of Harbour and Coastal Structures" by Karambas and Samaras, published by MDPI.

The Book is available to download in PDF format and/or order in Hard Copy format at: Link.

The Book is a reprint of articles from the homonymous Special Issue published in the Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, available at: Link.

Readers of this Special Issue Book will find in it a versatile collection of articles on the modelling of harbour and coastal structures, covering a variety of aspects, viewpoints and methodological approaches on the studied topics. The Editors hope that this Special Issue Book will contribute to research efforts in the field, as well as to the general discussion towards effectively designed coastal protection and adaptation measures in present and future climates.

Topic Editor for a Research Topic in Frontiers in Marine Science

29/4/2021

I am really glad to announce the launch of the Research Topic entitled "Climate Change impacts on Mediterranean Coastal and Transitional Areas: Assessment, Projection, and Adaptation" in Frontiers in Marine Science (Publisher: Frontiers), with Dr. Davide Bonaldo (CNR, Italy), Prof. Agustin Sanchez-Arcilla (UPC, Spain), Prof. Maria Snoussi (UM5, Morocco) and myself as Topic Editors.

This Research Topic invites original scientific contributions on topics including:
  • Assessment of recent trends of hydrological, hydrodynamic, morphodynamic, and ecological processes in coastal and transitional areas.
  • Physical and statistical downscaling of meteo-oceanic processes in climate change scenarios.
  • Adaptation, protection, and re-alignment under climate change for coastal and transitional areas
  • Coastal structural design and classical interventions (e.g. nourishment) in a climate change context.
  • Innovative “Nature-based Solutions” for adaptation to climate change in a climate change context.
  • Policy frameworks for adaptation of coastal and transitional areas under climate change.
  • EU Directives and agreements for the sustainability of coastal and transitional areas under climate change.
  • Maintenance of “Nature-based Solutions” under climate change and economic crises.
  • Coastal social-ecological synergies to facilitate adaptation under climate change.
  • Healthy coastal areas and transitional ecosystems to provide climate regulation service (e.g. Blue Carbon)
