Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Radionuclides have been extensively used as tracers to study a myriad of processes in the marine ecosystems. Their ubiquitous distribution, well-known production and decay rates and input sources, as well as their diverse physicochemical characteristics and wide range of half-lives, make them powerful tools to trace a multitude of oceanic processes, such as ocean circulation, particle scavenging and cycling, atmosphere–ocean and land–ocean interactions or sedimentation processes.
This special issue welcomes contributions from ocean geosciences, physics, biogeochemistry, ecology, climate, environmental contamination, engineering or other fields that use environmental radioactivity in marine applications to advance the understanding of oceanic processes. Please note that articles submitted to this Special Issue will be processed and published on a rolling basis, given the approval by the reviewers and editors.

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.
