| Session Description | This session is aligned with project IGCP639 and shares the project title. We hope to bring together a multi-disciplinary group of scientists to present the state-of-the-art of sea-level, storms and tsunamis studies from different perspectives and demonstrate the diversity of ongoing research in this field. We invite submissions that will assist in assessing human interactions, coastal dynamics and vulnerability at different temporal and spatial scales. Such works are immediately relevant to a variety of stakeholders interested in the future of coastal communities. The sub-theme of the session invites contributions that cover catastrophic or instantaneous events (minutes to hours); measurable and predictable changes (hours to years) for planning scale decisions (years to decades) and; geological-scale changes (centuries to millennia). We hope this session will share useful lessons and facilitate future collaborations. We hope to have a thematic collection of geoscience letters from the session. |
