JOURNAL OF COASTAL CONSERVATION

The Journal of Coastal Conservation is a scientific journal for the dissemination of both theoretical and applied research on integrated and sustainable management of the terrestrial, coastal and marine environmental interface.A thorough understanding of both the physical and the human sciences is important to the study of the spatial patterns and processes observed in terrestrial, coastal and marine systems set in the context of past, present and future social and economic developments. This includes multidisciplinary and integrated knowledge and understanding of: physical geography, coastal geomorphology, sediment dynamics, hydrodynamics, soil science, hydrology, plant and animal ecology, vegetation science, biogeography, landscape ecology, recreation and tourism studies, urban and human ecology, coastal engineering and spatial planning, coastal zone management, and marine resource management.Environmental applications that make use of spatial information technology (IT) to collect, analyse, interpret, visualise, and communicate the results of scientific research are also encouraged. This includes the use of remote sensing, Geographical Information Systems (GIS), environmental databases, Global Positioning Systems (GPS) and mobile technologies, cartography and digital mapping, geovisualisation, modelling and simulation, and the Internet.Applications that focus on the use of physical coastal modelling involving the detailing of the design, construction, instrumentation and results of model tests are also encouraged, including the theory, measurement, analysis and modelling of: Waves - generation, theories, prediction; Structures - types, interactions and structural responses; Measurement Techniques - pressures, velocities, and forces; Erosion/Scour – assessment and control; Scale Effects – control and techniques; and Natural Hazards Assessment.Research that promotes the role of education and training to integrated and sustainable management of the terrestrial, coastal and marine conservation and management is also considered important to the coastal practitioner and manager.International contributions to the journal are encouraged.Thematic volumes and output from conference proceedings are also welcome.

《海岸保护期刊》是一份科学期刊，传播关于陆地、海岸和海洋环境界面的综合和可持续管理的理论和应用研究。深入了解自然科学和人文科学对于研究在过去、现在和未来社会和经济发展的背景下所观察到的陆地、海岸和海洋系统的空间格局和过程是很重要的。这包括多学科综合知识和理解:自然地理,沿海地貌、沉积动力学、流体力学、土壤科学、水文、植物和动物生态学、植物科学、生物地理学、景观生态学、娱乐和旅游研究、城市和人类生态学,海岸工程和空间规划、海岸带管理、海洋资源管理。鼓励利用空间信息技术收集、分析、解释、可视化和交流科学研究成果的环境应用。这包括利用遥感、地理信息系统(GIS)、环境数据库、全球定位系统(GPS)和移动技术、制图学和数字制图、地理可视化、建模和模拟以及互联网。本署亦鼓励应用物理海岸模型，包括设计、建造、仪器和模型测试结果的细节，包括理论、测量、分析和建模:波浪产生、理论、预测;结构-类型、相互作用和结构反应;测量技术-压力、速度和力;侵蚀/冲刷-评估及管制;规模效应-控制和技术;以及自然灾害评估。促进教育和培训对陆地、海岸和海洋养护和管理的综合和可持续管理的作用的研究也被认为对海岸从业人员和管理人员很重要。鼓励各国对该杂志作出贡献。也欢迎专题卷和会议记录的产出。
