Geospatial research in the fields of remote sensing (RS), geospatial information system (GIS), global positioning system (GPS), digital photogrammetry (DP) has become essential to understanding the coastal environments. Thus, to create a multidisciplinary forum of discussion on recent advances in geospatial research of coastal environments, original research articles and literature review papers addressing advances in geospatial research of the coastal environments have been considered for the publication in this special issue. Finally, a total of 40 papers was published in this special issue. In this editorial paper, we review the previous special issue related to geospatial research of coastal environments and summarize the papers published in this special issue.
