The main objective of the Special Issue entitled 'Tectonics of Bay of Bengal and Arabian Sea with special emphasis on coastal and marine geohazards' is to bring together the recent research work carried out on marine geohazards in the Bay of Bengal and Arabian Sea particularly along the Eastern and Western Continental Margins of India,Andaman-Sumatra Arc/Trench in the Bay of Bengal, and the Makran coast in the northern Arabian Sea. Initially, we received 13 research papers related to the theme of the Special Issue that were put through the peer reviewing process by two potential referees for each research paper. The referees’ reviews helped to sharpen the ideas and improve the quality of the manuscripts. Out of the 13 papers, 8 papers were finally selected for this special issue. These include five papers dealing with various aspects of seismogenesis, structural heterogeneity and tsunami-related studies in the Andaman-Sumatra region, one paper on 3D seismic structure in Kachchh region affected by the 2001 Bhuj earthquake and two papers related to the geohazard analysis of the eastern Indian offshore. A brief summary of the papers is presented in the guest editorial.
