[Coral-List] submission open for journal special issue: Flooding on Coral Reef-lined Coasts: Current State of Knowledge and Future Challenges

[Storlazzi, Curt]

Dear colleagues,



We are happy to announce the opportunity to present research on:



*Flooding on Coral Reef-lined Coasts: Current State of Knowledge and Future
Challenges*



In a special issue in the journal, *Frontiers in Marine Science*; see:



https://www.frontiersin.org/research-topics/10538/flooding-on-coral-reef-lined-coasts-current-state-of-knowledge-and-future-challenges



*Keywords**:* coral reef, coasts, flooding, sea level, waves



*Submission deadline:* 18 November 2019



*Goal of this Special Issue:*



To advance our understanding and skill at predicting flooding on coral
reef-lined coasts, a concerted effort from a number of disciplines,
including climatology, oceanography, geology, and ecology, is required.



This special issue focuses on advancements in understanding and predicting
local sea levels, offshore wave climates, wave transformation and water
levels across reefs, and geological and ecological linkages between coral
reefs, sediment production, and island dynamics.



Summaries of current local or regional-scale studies, including modeling
exercises, are encouraged, especially if they evaluate responses to changes
in sea level or the impact on infrastructure, habitats, agriculture,
freshwater availability, etc.



*Topic Editors:*



Curt Storlazzi, USGS

William Skirving, NOAA

John Marra, NOAA

Robert McCall, Deltares

Andrew Pomeroy, UWA



Please share this with any colleagues that might be interested. Thank you!
