We are pleased to remind the community that abstract submissions are now open for the INQUA Congress 2027, to be held in Lucknow, India.

 

We warmly encourage researchers to visit the official congress website for detailed information on themes, deadlines, and participation:  www.inquaindia2027.in

 

Deadline for abstract submission is 15 February!

 

Please, consider session 160 :Evolution of coastal environments under natural and anthropogenic impacts that aims to collect the contributions of the most important experts engaged in the study of coastal environments. The effect of millennial-scale climate change (e.g., Heinrich Events, D-O cycles), Sea level Rise, winds, waves, tidal variations, sediment input from rivers, or tectonic movements of the Earth's crust during the Quaternary, contributes to modifying the shoreline. In addition to natural phenomena, characterized by different durations and frequencies, coastal changes are impacted by human activities.

 

Session description: “Coastal areas are shaped by both anthropogenic and natural processes, with evolutionary trends observable through the use of new technology across various temporal and spatial scales worldwide. Geological records reveal significant variations along coastlines, which respond rapidly to short-term changes (on a sub-millennial scale) as well as long-term trends. Shoreline development is governed by sediment supply, making sediment management increasingly urgent, and urbanization of coastal zones, land consumption, beach nourishments, and wetland destruction have significantly altered coastal landforms. Understanding tectonic, subsidence, and other oceanographic variables is essential for distinguishing between natural and human-induced influences.
We welcome case studies, methodological innovations, and theoretical frameworks aimed at separating anthropogenic impacts from natural variability in coastal systems during the Quaternary period. Submissions that integrate geological, climatic, and human dimensions are especially encouraged, as well as evidence on the Holocene–Anthropocene transition and ecological shifts, along with their stratigraphic expressions in coastal settings.
