Calls for abstracts (EGU26) and papers (Journal of Environmental Management): nature-based coastal solutions
Avidesh Seenath
Reminder 1 – Conference session abstract deadline
We would like to remind colleagues that the call for abstracts for our EGU26 session on "nature-based coastal solutions: integrating geoscience, engineering, and societal perspectives on successes, failures, and future uncertainties" is currently open. Through this session, we aim to bring together interdisciplinary contributions that critically examine the long-term performance, risks, trade-offs, and uncertainties associated with nature-based coastal solutions across diverse environmental and governance contexts. We welcome case studies, modelling work, methodological innovations, systems-based approaches, and perspectives spanning geoscience, engineering, ecology, planning, and policy. The abstract submission deadline is 15 January 2026 at 13:00 CET. Full details are available here: https://www.egu26.eu/session/57482
Reminder 2 – Special Issue call for papers
We would also like to highlight our open call for papers for a special Issue on "coastal nature-based solutions: successes, failures, and future uncertainties" in the Journal of Environmental Management. Through this special Issue, we seek empirical, conceptual, methodological, and policy-focused contributions that address the long-term effectiveness, trade-offs, and system-wide implications of coastal NbS, including biophysical, socioeconomic, governance, and morphological dimensions across diverse coastal settings. The manuscript submission window will close on 31 August 2026.

All the best,
