Abstract
The Proceedings of the Third International Workshop on Geosynthetics and Modern Materials in Coastal Protection and
Related Applications (Geosynthetics & Coasts 2015) will be electronically published and made available to the public
through the meeting’s website. Additionally, conference delegates will receive a digital copy as part of their welcome kit.
Instructions for the preparation of manuscripts are given in this format. Papers should include an abstract of no more than

maximum, separated by commas. Review comments will be provided with enough time to do corrections. Full papers
(see full paper template) are required by September 30th 2015. Abstracts that do not meet this format template will be
returned to the authors. It is also the responsibility of the authors to check for spelling and grammatical correctness. For
questions on full paper submissions, please contact mariana.gonzalez@anahuac.mx.
Keywords: Type your keywords here, sperated by semicolons (;).

subheadings are recommended.
2.1.1 Subheadings
The work should be set out logically keeping
hierarchy.
Bulleted lists may be included and should look like

text area where they are discussed. Figures and
photographs can be in color with a recommended
resolution of 300 dpi. Figures and tables should be
embedded in the text and not supplied separately.
They should be numbered consecutively with
Arabic numerals.
When referring to a figure, use cross-reference in
text (e.g. “Figure 1 provides an example of this
point”). All figures and tables should be fully
legible on-screen at 100% viewing. It is the authors’
responsibility to ensure that figures and tables are
legible.
If a figure or photograph has been published
previously, it is necessary for the author to obtain
written approval from the original publisher for
reprinting in the workshop proceedings.

4. Equations
All equations and mathematical symbols must be
typed, with mathematical notation appearing in
italic. Equations should be typed with an indent
(See Eq. 1) and referred in the text as crossreference. An example is included below.

5. Conclusions
Conclusions must be clearly stated in a separate
section appearing at the end of the paper. These
guidelines have been prepared in Microsoft Word
2007. It is expected that papers will look similar in
format to these guidelines and will be compatible
with the required electronic format for submission.

Figure 1. Figure caption
Every table should have a caption in 10 point Times
New Roman, placed at the top of the table. Tables
should be centered. Table 1 is an example of a
legible table. If needed, text of tables can be
reduced to Times New Roman font, 10 point. Tables
and figures may span both columns if necessary.
Only horizontal lines should be used within a table,
to distinguish the column headings from the body of
the table, and immediately above and below the
table. Tables must be embedded into the text and not
supplied separately.
