Session information:
OS2.3: Coastal dynamics and processes under changing climate and changing human activities.
Conveners: Laurent Amoudry, Melanie Biausque, Joonas Virtasalo
Global
coastal zones are of high ecological and societal values. As the
dynamic interface between land, sea, and air, they are heavily impacted
by a combination of climate-driven environmental change and human
interventions. Approaches to sustainably manage the coastal zone
increasingly seek to provide co-benefits of risk mitigation, climate
regulation, preserving biodiversity, and supporting coastal community
resilience. These require scientific evidence and discourse that
integrate across disciplines.
This
session invites multi- and inter-disciplinary contributions focusing on
coastal processes, their dynamic interactions, and their role in
exchanges across coastal interfaces (e.g. land-sea, air-sea, river-sea,
…) under a changing climate and changing human activities. We welcome
observational, modelling and theoretical studies reporting on processes
linked to coastal hydrodynamics, coastal biogeochemistry, coastal
ecology, or coastal sediment dynamics and geomorphology. Studies may
span the wide range of spatial and temporal scales characteristic of
existing and projected change in coastal seascapes and landscapes from
the inner shelf shoreward to beaches and dunes, estuaries, intertidal
flats, saltmarshes and coastal wetlands. We encourage the submission of
holistic Earth system studies that explore the role of the coastal zone
for coastal seas’ dynamics including exchanges across coastal under the
impact of climate change and human activities. We also encourage studies
that focus on impacts of coastal management or coastal adaptation
approaches on coastal processes and dynamics, spanning engineered,
hybrid, and nature-based options related to changing activities such as
coastal protection, tourism, shipping, fisheries and aquaculture, and
the expansion of renewable energies and other coastal infrastructure.
