Dear coastal list members
To reminder you, the dead line for submitting an article to the new Special Issue of JMSE (ISSN 2077-1312, IF 2.7) entitled " Advances in Coastal Dune and Aeolian Processes Research" is 25 April 2026 (
https://www.mdpi.com/journal/jmse/special_issues/197EX23I8V).
Coastal dune systems are dynamic landforms shaped by complex interactions between wind, waves, vegetation, and human activity. Growing concern over their resilience to environmental change, given their increasing use as a form of natural infrastructure along coastlines around the world, has inspired a considerable amount of fundamental and applied research on aeolian geomorphology and coastal science. This Special Issue aims to highlight contemporary research on coastal dune and aeolian processes across diverse climatic and geographic contexts.
This Special Issue encompasses a wide range of topics, including beach–dune evolution, wind-driven sediment transport, biotic–abiotic interactions, and vegetation’s role in dune morphology. Multi-scale approaches and emerging tools such as remote sensing, UAVs, LiDAR, and machine learning are of particular interest. Submissions of fieldwork, lab experiments, remote sensing analyses, and numerical or conceptual models will be considered.
We are also seeking review papers and case studies that explore the feedback between geomorphic and ecological dynamics or assess the impacts of climate change and human activities on coastal dune systems.
