Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The carbon cycle has a profound impact on global climate change. The global warming and the increase of extreme weather phenomena caused by the continuous increase of greenhouse gas concentrations (e.g., carbon dioxide) in the atmosphere are attracting more and more attention. In order to deal with the problem of global warming caused by the continuous increase of atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations, various countries around the world have signed a series of agreements on carbon emission reduction and carbon neutralization, among which the three most important agreements are the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, the Kyoto Protocol and the Paris Agreement. At the same time, the research on the global carbon cycle, with carbon dioxide as the core, has been continuously strengthened and deepened.
Marine carbon cycle is an extremely important part of the global carbon cycle and is at the core of marine sciences. The study of carbon dynamics is crucial to understanding the marine carbon cycle. The dynamic processes of carbon in the ocean involves the dynamic change and mutual transformation of different forms and states of carbon, including their migration, transformation, degradation, burial and other complex biogeochemical processes of inorganic and organic carbon. From air–sea interface to sediments, from coastal waters to deep oceans, these processes are always in progress. Our understanding of the distribution and flux of organic and inorganic carbon in different forms and states is extensive and in-depth, but our understanding of their dynamic processes in marine environments still needs to be deepened and strengthened.
The aim of this Special Issue is to gather insightful contributions on carbon dynamics in coastal and deep ocean, including all aspects of the carbon cycle in marine environments. We hope to further understand how physical, chemical, biological, geological and other processes in the ocean dynamically affect the marine carbon cycle. We encourage researchers and practitioners from academia, industry, aquaculture etc. to submit their work and views so that a broad contribution can be delivered to the community on this hot and urgent topic.
You are cordially invited to contribute to this Special Issue.

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.
