Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The ocean brings many benefits to humans, but it also has a dangerous side. One of the dangers presented by the ocean is tsunamis. Tsunami countermeasures, warning systems, and evacuation facilities need to be continuously improved. To create these and make them function effectively, it is necessary to consider the characteristics exhibited by tsunamis in various phases such as tsunami generation, propagation, runup on land and in rivers, attack on structures, and the transportation of sediments and debris. Various techniques are required to understand these phenomena, such as theoretical, numerical, and experimental approaches, as well as real-time observation of water level, ground displacement, land slide, volcanic activity, atmospheric pressure, etc., for forecasting and data assimilation. Furthermore, we should carry out risk management using fragility curves, supply chains, business continuity plans, etc. This Special Issue collects cutting-edge research—articles and reviews—in various fields related to tsunamis, and is intended to be of use for future research on tsunami disaster prevention and mitigation.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Journal of Marine Science and Engineering is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
