New advances in marine engineering geology

Abstract

The ocean is the cradle of life and is rich in natural resources. With the worldwide boom in exploration and application of ocean resources, a dramatic increase in coastal and offshore engineering construction has been observed in the last few decades. The rapid development of human economic activities and changing global climate has had significant impacts on the marine environment, resulting in increased impact from natural disasters. Under this circumstance, there is an urgent need for platform for scientists and engineers to share their state-of-art research outcomes in the field of Marine Engineering Geology.
