Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering is going to reach a remarkable milestone, and in celebration of this special occasion, we have taken the initiative to launch a Special Issue called “The 10th Anniversary of JMSE – Recent Advances in Section Chemical Oceanography".

  • The 10th anniversary of Journal of Marine Science and Engineering: Invited Papers in “Recent Advances in Section Chemical Oceanography". This Special Issue aims to gather moderate-sized original research or review papers featuring important and recent developments or recent progress in chemical oceanography with an emphasis on the study of the chemical components of the oceans, their reactions, and their pathways of transformation and the impact that they have on aquatic biota. Emphasis is placed on organic and inorganic compounds, particulate and dissolved material, and the ocean sediments; the pathways that compounds follow affect the global cycling of elements such as carbon and nitrogen, and relationships with biological activity.
  • The papers can cover either experimental or field research in environments such as cold seeps and saline lakes, salt marshes, and deep ocean sediments combining field observations, laboratory experiments, and computer models to understand factors affecting chemical compositions and how they vary in time and space. The main topics, though not exclusively, include sources, transport, alterations and fate of organic compounds in aquatic and atmospheric environments; the molecular characterization of riverine/estuarine/marine dissolved organic matter (DOM); microbial- and photochemical-derived changes in DOM composition; the transport of biologically important elements to oceans and estuaries via aerosols; the processes controlling aerosol elemental solubility and metal speciation; the fate of aerosol-derived trace elements and nutrients; reactive transport modelling and biogeochemical cycling; bioturbation, microbial metabolism; pollutants and nutrient dynamics and human impacts at the land–ocean interface, salt marsh carbon and groundwater dynamics; oil spill impacts; chemical matrix changes on oxidative stress onset; adaptive redox responses and metabolic changes to environmental modifications.

The authors are well-known experts in their domain and are invited to submit their contribution at any moment from now to the end of the submission deadline.

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.

A portable electrochemical system based on rGO/AuNPs/Nafion was constructed for selenium (IV) field determination in coastal seawater of the North Yellow Sea, East China Sea and South China Sea. This system demonstrated a low determination limit (0.03 μg/L), a wide linear range of concentration (0.1–30 μg/L), exceptional reproducibility and repeatability, and excellent selectivity. Each individual, entire test could be accomplished within 8 min. In Yantai Sishili Bay, the Se (IV) concentrations ranged from 0.16–3.59 μg/L (average 1.43 μg/L). In Shengshan Island, the Se (IV) concentrations ranged from 0.20–5.18 μg/L (average 2.06 μg/L). In Zhelin Bay, the Se (IV) concentrations ranged from 0.87–4.87 μg/L (average 3.13 μg/L). The average concentrations of Se (IV) in surface seawater showcased an increasing trend from the north to the south of China, suggesting Zhelin Bay > Shengshan Island > Sishili Bay. The system develops a new, competitive method for water quality assessment, and contributes to the accurate study of the biogeochemical cycles of selenium. Full article
