Marine Geotechnics is an international, open access, peer-reviewed journal that publishes high-quality research on the geotechnical aspects of marine and offshore systems. The journal serves as a forum for advancing the fundamental understanding and engineering application of soil mechanics and geotechnical engineering in the marine environment. It aims to disseminate cutting-edge research on the design, analysis, and performance of foundations, anchors, pipelines, underwater tunnels and other seabed infrastructure, with emphasis on safety, sustainability, and reliability. While a key focus is on applications supporting the safe and sustainable development of marine energy systems, the journal also welcomes high-quality research on other areas, including deep-sea resource extraction, subsea infrastructure, and coastal resilience. By serving as a crucial conduit between fundamental research and practical engineering solutions, Marine Geotechnics is committed to solving the complex challenges inherent in engineering on and within the seabed.

Topics included but not limited to:

• Marine Site Characterization and marine geomaterials Behavior: Advanced in-situ and laboratory testing, innovative geophysical methods, and constitutive modeling of marine geo-materials under complex loading conditions.
• Offshore and Subsea Foundations: Analysis, design, and performance of shallow and deep foundations (e.g., piles, caissons, gravity bases) for all types of marine structures, including energy, industrial, and scientific platforms.
• Anchoring and Mooring Systems: Geotechnical design and analysis of anchoring systems (e.g., drag, plate, pile anchors) for floating structures such as FPSOs, floating cities, renewable energy platforms, and aquaculture farms.
• Geotechnics of Subsea Linear Infrastructure: Design, installation, and stability of submarine pipelines, risers, and power/data cables, including cable-seabed interaction, trenching, and burial.
• Coastal and Nearshore Geotechnical Engineering: Analysis of coastal processes, land reclamation, port and harbor infrastructure, breakwaters, and foundations for nearshore structures.
• Geotechnics for Subsea Resources and Storage: Geotechnical solutions for deep-sea mining, methane hydrate exploitation, offshore geothermal energy, subsea hydrogen storage, and carbon capture and storage (CCS).
• Geotechnics of Cross-Sea Passages: Geotechnical challenges related to the design and construction of immersed tunnels, sea-crossing bridges, and artificial islands.
• Submerged Floating Tunnels (SFTs): Geotechnical aspects of foundation and anchoring systems for submerged floating tunnels, including soil-structure interaction under hydrodynamic and seismic loads.
• Marine Geo-hazards and Environmental Geotechnics: Assessment, forecasting, and mitigation of marine geo-hazards (e.g., submarine landslides, tsunamis, seismic risks, scour), and the environmental impact of marine geotechnical activities.
• Novel Ocean Space Utilization: Geotechnical challenges associated with emerging infrastructure such as subsea data centers, underwater habitats, and deep-sea observatories.
• Advanced Modeling and Data-Driven Methods: High-fidelity simulation of coupled soil-fluid-structure interaction, and the application of AI, digital twins, and data analytics in marine geotechnical engineering.
• Lifecycle, Risk, and Resilience: Reliability-based design, innovative construction and monitoring, and sustainable lifecycle strategies (including decommissioning) for all types of offshore and marine projects.
