  abstract = {{G}lobally, while land erosion has increased in the last decades, sediment input to the ocean has decreased. {S}ediment transport and distribution at the land-ocean interface has huge impacts on morphodynamics of estuaries, deltas and coastal zones, on water quality (and related issues such as aquaculture), on navigation and harbor capability, on recreation areas, etc. {S}cientific objectives must be achieved to deepen our knowledge on processes based on field surveys, modeling, space observation or experiments in laboratory, to refine the sediment budget (bedload and suspension) between compartments, and to improve our observation and modelling capacities. {S}ediment transport which is mainly driven by varying dynamical forcings (currents, tides, wind, waves, turbulence, stratification, density currents, etc.) in the estuary, in the {ROFI} zone, on the shelf or in canyons may also be affected by chemical and biological processes. {I}n this {S}pecial {I}ssue, we invite scientists working on different aspects of sediment transport, in muddy, sandy or mixed environments, to share their most recent results and give reviews or examples encompassing different aspects of sediment transport in coastal zones at different scales. {P}apers may deal with water and sediment analysis (including {P}article {S}ize {D}istribution), modeling, and remote sensing.},
