《海岸保護(hù)期刊》是一份科學(xué)期刊，傳播關(guān)于陸地、海岸和海洋環(huán)境界面的綜合和可持續(xù)管理的理論和應(yīng)用研究。深入了解自然科學(xué)和人文科學(xué)對于研究在過去、現(xiàn)在和未來社會(huì)和經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展的背景下所觀察到的陸地、海岸和海洋系統(tǒng)的空間格局和過程是很重要的。這包括多學(xué)科綜合知識(shí)和理解:自然地理,沿海地貌、沉積動(dòng)力學(xué)、流體力學(xué)、土壤科學(xué)、水文、植物和動(dòng)物生態(tài)學(xué)、植物科學(xué)、生物地理學(xué)、景觀生態(tài)學(xué)、娛樂和旅游研究、城市和人類生態(tài)學(xué),海岸工程和空間規(guī)劃、海岸帶管理、海洋資源管理。鼓勵(lì)利用空間信息技術(shù)收集、分析、解釋、可視化和交流科學(xué)研究成果的環(huán)境應(yīng)用。這包括利用遙感、地理信息系統(tǒng)(GIS)、環(huán)境數(shù)據(jù)庫、全球定位系統(tǒng)(GPS)和移動(dòng)技術(shù)、制圖學(xué)和數(shù)字制圖、地理可視化、建模和模擬以及互聯(lián)網(wǎng)。本署亦鼓勵(lì)應(yīng)用物理海岸模型，包括設(shè)計(jì)、建造、儀器和模型測試結(jié)果的細(xì)節(jié)，包括理論、測量、分析和建模:波浪產(chǎn)生、理論、預(yù)測;結(jié)構(gòu)-類型、相互作用和結(jié)構(gòu)反應(yīng);測量技術(shù)-壓力、速度和力;侵蝕/沖刷-評估及管制;規(guī)模效應(yīng)-控制和技術(shù);以及自然災(zāi)害評估。促進(jìn)教育和培訓(xùn)對陸地、海岸和海洋養(yǎng)護(hù)和管理的綜合和可持續(xù)管理的作用的研究也被認(rèn)為對海岸從業(yè)人員和管理人員很重要。鼓勵(lì)各國對該雜志作出貢獻(xiàn)。也歡迎專題卷和會(huì)議記錄的產(chǎn)出。

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.
