International Journal of Marine Energy

Aims & Scope

Cessation.

International Journal of Marine Energy will aim to publish original, high quality papers covering fundamental and applied research as well as case studies relevant to renewable energy emanating from the marine or ocean environment with particular focus on wave and tidal energy.

The Journal focuses on wave and tidal topics including: fundamental understanding; fluid mechanics; design; modelling and optimisation of devices and arrays/ farms; environmental assessment; design codes; regulations; policy; economics; monitoring; planning evaluation; legislation and legal aspects related to sustainable exploitation of the ocean and tidal resources.

Papers on tidal lagoons as well as cross cutting topics of relevance to wave and tidal energy such as structures, platforms and electrical connections are also welcomed.

In addition to the regular original articles, the journal will also publish: special issues devoted to international conferences and meetings; review articles on important developments in a specific field; reviews of books and major reports; and technical notes.
