Ecological Engineering

ISSN: 0925-8574

The Journal of Ecosystem RestorationEcologica... engineering has been defined as the design of ecosystems for the mutual benefit of humans and nature. The journal is for those involved in designing, monitoring, or restoring ecosystems, and serves as a bridge between the fields of ecology and engineeringSpecific topics covered in the journal include: habitat reconstruction; ecotechnology; synthetic ecology; bioengineering; restoration ecology; ecology conservation; ecosystem rehabilitation; stream and river restoration; reclamation ecology; non-renewable resource conservation. Descriptions of specific applications of ecological engineering are acceptable only when situated within context of adding novelty to current research and emphasizing ecosystem restoration. We do not accept purely descriptive reports on ecosystem structures (such as vegetation surveys), purely physical assessment of materials that can be used for ecological restoration, small-model studies carried out in the laboratory or greenhouse with artificial (waste)water or crop studies, or case studies on conventional wastewater treatment and eutrophication that do not offer an ecosystem restoration approach within the paper.The journal welcomes full papers, short communications, reviews, and letters to the editor. We are pleased to publish papers from multidisciplinary approaches that are pertinent to a wide range of scholars, managers, practitioners, and policymakers across ecological sciences.All papers will be subject to peer review and they will be dealt with as speedily as is compatible with a high standard of presentation.

Ocean Engineering

ISSN: 0029-8018

Last updated June 2025Ocean Engineering aims to provide a medium for the publication of original research and development work in the field of ocean engineering.The journal seeks papers in the following topics:Ocean Engineering including: fixed and floating offshore platforms; pipelines and risers; cables and mooring; buoy technology; foundation engineering; ocean mining; marine and offshore renewable energy; aquaculture engineering; environmental protection; subsea engineering.Naval Architecture including: ship and special marine vehicle design; intact and damaged stability; technology for energy efficiency and green shipping; ship production technology; decommissioning and recycling.Polar and Arctic Engineering including: ice mechanics; ice-structure interaction; polar operations; polar design; environmental protection.Automatic Control of Marine Systems including: automatic control; automation and autonomy for marine vehicles and systemsUnderwater Technology including: AUV/ROV design; AUV/ROV hydrodynamics; maneuvering and control; underwater-specific communicating and sensing systems for AUV/ROVs.In these fields, papers on the following technical topics are welcome.Hydro- and Aerodynamics: CFD; vortex induced vibrations; fluid-structure interaction; hydroelasticity; linear and non-linear wave mechanics; buoyancy and stability; ship resistance and propulsion; seakeeping and controls; ship maneuvering; ship-radiated noise; wind-assisted propulsion; energy-efficient devices; hydroacoustics; aeroacoustics from offshore wind turbines.Structural Mechanics: materials; limit state prediction and assessments; fatigue; fracture; structural health monitoring; collision and crash worthiness, degradation; ship strength.Stochastic Calculations: stochastic processes; safety and reliability; risk and limit state design.Experimental Approaches: instrumentation; full-scale measurements; model tests.Marine equipment: risers; pipelines; ballast water treatment; air emissions treatment; underwater noise mitigation; and associated components or equipment.Ocean Environmental Predictions: only for the impact of extreme event predictions; extreme statistics; wave groups; tsunamis; short-term environment predictions and impact of climate change on ocean structures and vessel operation and design. Note that manuscripts related to broader physical oceanography or ocean science topics such as climate variability, climate modelling, remote sensing, and oceanic data analysis should be submitted to journals specialising in climate and oceanographic sciences.Automatic Control of Marine Systems: Papers submitted in this subject area should have genuine value in naval architecture and maritime engineering and should include the validation of results preferably, by full-scale measurements or model-scale tests or, when this is not possible, by high-fidelity simulations. Methods used in papers should be validated in conditions that represent realistic marine environments. Research on civilian applications of underwater imaging, target detection, acoustic target recognition and image enhancement techniques related to marine automation is also within the scope.Human Factors and Maritime Safety including: Maritime accidents; fatigue management; risk assessment; situational awareness; maritime training; human errors; human performance in operation; human factors in maritime accidents; safety culture; human factors taxonomy; all related to maritime engineering.Out of scope topics last updated December 2024Ocean Engineering does not accept submissions on marine engines and auxiliary systems, heating and cooling systems, pumps, valves, underwater explosions, sediment transport, sediment disturbance and erosion, chloride penetration, dam break phenomena, or purely theoretical papers without any application to ocean engineering. Broad material science and corrosion studies without a focus on naval architecture or offshore engineering are also outside the journal's scope. Furthermore, the journal does not consider studies related to wind turbines unless there is a direct application to offshore engineering (such as offshore wind turbines). Research focusing on the mechanics of robotic devices or wireless power transfer systems also falls outside the journal’s scope.Additionally, Ocean Engineering does not accept submissions focusing solely on military applications. While the journal is currently open to papers on submarine hydrodynamics, it must be ensured that no sensitive or military-related content is included. The aim of any manuscript submitted to Ocean Engineering should be the worldwide dissemination of scientific knowledge, focusing on civilian applications that advance the broader field of ocean and maritime engineering.*Authors are requested to complete a Review Proposal Form for Editorial approval prior to submission of the review article. Proposals can be submitted to [email protected] or one of the Editors.
