Lectio Magistralis -Prof. Agustín Sánchez-Arcilla - SCACR2025 and IAHR
Dalibor Carevic
Dear Coastal Listers,
SCACR 2025 will take place next week, from Wednesday to Friday (24–26 September 2025) in Dubrovnik, Croatia. Over the course of three days, more than 60 distinguished experts and scholars will present their latest research and insights in the field of coastal engineering. More information about the program is available here.
We are delighted to announce that the SCACR2025 Organizing Committee, together with the IAHR Technical Committee on Coastal and Maritime Hydraulics, will host a dedicated ceremony to honour Prof. Agustín Sánchez-Arcilla, Director of LIM Barcelona.
As part of this ceremony, Prof. Sánchez-Arcilla will deliver a Lectio Magistralis titled:
“Coastal Adaptation by Combining Conventional and Nature-Based Solutions”
Abstract:
The challenges of coastal and harbor engineering to adapt infrastructures
and ecosystems under future conditions are steadily growing. The talk will
review how increasing climate, and human pressures pose tough site-specific
constraints to the combination of conventional and nature-based solutions. The
need for engineering in both cases, to achieve an efficient adaptation under
future climate scenarios, will be discussed, followed by a short presentation
of adaptation pathways developed for actual beaches and ports. The talk will
end with some conclusions on how numerical and hydraulic models can help to
steer such climatic adaptation.
The Lectio Magistralis is scheduled
for Thursday, 25 September 2025, from 11:15 to 12:15 PM.
A link to the live presentation will be available on the conference website.
We look forward to welcoming you in Dubrovnik!
On behalf of Organizing Committee,
Dalibor Carević and Roberto Tomasicchio
