Paper [J.12] “Simulation of tsunami generation, propagation and coastal inundation in the Eastern Mediterranean.” selected to  be included in the Encyclopedia of Geosciences, a publication launched by the European Geosciences Union (EGU), under two topics: The hydrosphere > Oceans > Ocean Waves and The hydrosphere > Oceans > The Mediterranean Sea (Link).

I am really glad to announce the launch of the Special Issue entitled "Modelling of Harbour and Coastal Structures" in the Journal of Marine Science and Engineering (Publisher: MDPI), with Prof. Theophanis V. Karambas and myself as Guest Editors.

This Special Issue invites original scientific contributions on topics including:

• Harbour and coastal structures design and upgrading (seawalls, revetments, bulkheads, jetties, emerged/submerged groins and breakwaters, artificial reefs, etc.).
• Wave agitation and siltation problems in harbour basins and approach channels.
• Shoreline erosion control downcoast of harbours.
• Harbour layout design.

Research articles, review articles and case studies are welcome; contributions can be based on numerical, physical or combined numerical and physical modelling.

The deadline for manuscript submissions is set to November 20th, 2020.
