Aims
There is an urgent need of knowledge to understand the response of coastal systems to current and near-future challenges, such as natural and man-induced global changes. Sea level rise, increase in the probability of the occurrence of extreme events, increase in water temperature, reduction of run-off, and increase in human pressure on the ecosystems are just some examples of the changes that coastal systems are facing. The sustainable management of coastal systems is, therefore, one of the greatest scientific and technical challenges of today.
This meeting focuses on the knowledge of coastal systems dynamics, covering from fundamental concepts and processes to advanced applications in engineering and management. This meeting is particularly intended for MSc and PhD students. The school aims at providing an integrated view of coastal systems through lectures and short courses jointly led by international renowned experts and young postdoctoral researchers.
