Topic Editor for a Research Topic in Frontiers in Marine Science

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)
