Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The interest in hydraulic risk is continuously increasing due to both the increased human exposure and the rise of extreme events. Many hydraulic hazard phenomena of recent interest involve positively buoyant materials, both natural and human-made. For example, human access to remote areas has increased exposure to the risk of tsunamis generated by natural positive buoyancy materials, such as pyroclastic flow, snow avalanche, or iceberg calving. In addition, flood damage, especially in urban areas, is mainly due to the transport and impact of floating materials of various types, from lumber to vehicles to garbage. Finally, plastic pollution, by now present in all oceans and all the larger rivers worldwide, often consists of positively buoyant debris. Thus, appropriate knowledge and modeling of the interaction of positive buoyant materials with water is crucial for the study of such phenomena and, consequently, for the assessment and management of their impact.
This Special Issue aims to collect the most recent studies on positively buoyant materials in water, ranging from basic theoretical modeling to application, in the perspective of hydraulic risk. For this purpose, authors are invited to submit contributions that take into considerations the following topics:
- Iceberg calving
- Numerical modelling
- Snow avalanches behavior in water
- The dynamics of debris transported in flood
- The dynamics of micro and macro plastics

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.
