Journal of Waterway, Port, Coastal and Ocean Engineering (JWPCOE)
Journal Descriptions
The Journal of Waterway, Port, Coastal, and Ocean Engineering is a long‑established scholarly journal published by the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE). Its origins trace back to ASCE’s expansion of subject‑specific journals in the mid‑20th century to better serve the growing civil engineering community; the journal emerged from that evolution and has carried its current name since 1983. Published bimonthly, the journal provides a rigorous platform for multidisciplinary civil engineering research that connects theoretical developments with real‑world applications in marine and aquatic infrastructure systems. Topics span coastal erosion control, structural design of coastal defenses, navigational channel stability, sediment transport, wave and hydrodynamic modeling, port and harbor operation efficiency, and resilience strategies against environmental extremes. Through its peer‑reviewed research articles, the journal fosters innovation in both foundational understanding and engineering practices that influence coastal zone management, port infrastructure resilience, and sustainable waterway operations. It bridges academia, industry, and government decision‑makers by offering evidence‑based insights relevant to engineering design, environmental assessment, policy formulation, and adaptation planning in the changing global environment. Its readership includes civil and coastal engineers, hydrodynamic modelers, infrastructure planners, and professionals focused on safeguarding coastal and marine built environments while balancing ecological and economic priorities.
