Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue of Water aims to gather high-quality original research articles in the field of coastal geomorphology, morphodynamics, and sedimentology.

We seek articles that aim to expand our current understanding of coastal morphodynamics, especially in areas where substantial scientific challenges remain. These include advancing our understanding of extreme events on the coast and forecasting the morphodynamic evolution of coastal systems on scales relevant to planning and management.

The objective of this Special Issue is to provide the reader with recent advances in coastal geomorphology, morphodynamics, and sedimentology studies. In particular, the submission of articles on the relationships between climate change and anthropogenic impacts on coastal geomorphology, morphodynamics, and sedimentology is encouraged.

Therefore, we invite you to submit articles with respect to the above and/or the following topics:

  • Coastal and estuarine change under extreme conditions;
  • Novel techniques in coastal monitoring and modelling;
  • Long-term morphodynamic evolution of coastal systems;
  • Remote sensing of coastal systems;
  • Sediment budgets in coastal systems;
  • Human interaction with the coast;
  • Application of morphodynamics models in the field.

Articles may focus on any coastal systems, such as beaches, estuaries, and deltas.

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. Water is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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.

Sediments represent the major sink of antibiotics in aquatic systems. However, few studies have proposed effective models that can predict the adsorption capacity of sediments through their physicochemical parameters. Here, 49 sediment samples were collected from different locations in the Yangtze Estuary and its adjacent coastal areas. The sediments were characterized, and their adsorption behavior towards tetracycline (TC) was investigated. It was found that both the Langmuir and Freundlich models fit the TC adsorption data well, and the sediments in the mud area showed the highest adsorption capacity. Subsequently, through correlation analysis for the adsorption coefficients and physicochemical parameters of sediments, 11 models were established to predict the adsorption coefficients (Kd), in which clay and cation exchange capacity played significant roles. When the salinity was increased from 0 to 32.79‰, the Freundlich adsorption coefficient (Kf) of TC for most sediments was reduced by more than75% (except sediment C6). Therefore, the methods provided herein can be helpful in predicting the sorption behavior of antibiotics with similar structures toward TC by sediments in this region. Full article
