Opening of session Coastal flooding and erosion risk: present and future at European Geosciences Union General Assembly

Added on 2010-12-08 16:18:21 by Goffin, Annelies
The EGU General Assembly 2011 will bring together geoscientists from all over the world into one meeting covering all disciplines of the Earth, Planetary and Space Sciences. The session Coastal flooding and erosion risk: present and future of the European Geosciences Union General Assembly 2011 is opened. Convener is Fernando J. Mendez coconveners are Barbara Zanuttigh and Robert J. Nicholls.
For young scientists the EGU appeals to provide a forum to present their work and discuss their ideas with experts in all fields of geosciences. The EGU is looking forward to cordially welcome you in Vienna! The session Coastal flooding and erosion risk: present and future calls for presentations dealing with coastal flooding and erosion risk analysis at different time scales (short-term forecasting, present-day risk, climate change scenarios).
Coastal areas are highly vulnerable and exposed to extreme flooding and erosion events and also to long-term erosion due to changes in coastal dynamics and sea level rise. The quantitative estimation of present and future coastal flooding and erosion risk is a challenge for engineers, geographers, climatologists, statisticians, socio-economists and biologists.
