Conference "4th EARSeL Workshop on Remote Sensing of the Coastal Zone"
HomepageMore than 60% of humans live within 60 km from the coastline, and therefore coastal zones are important environmental and economic resources. As a complex interface between land and oceans, its investigation from space or using airborne sensors has always been a challenge.
The 4th workshop focuses on the impact of our climate on coastal zones and inland waters, on climate change and its expected effects on European seas, and on the role of remote sensing for its study.
Topics:
- changing terrestrial run-off into coastal waters
- escalation of extreme events: floods, storms, high tides
- hydrology and water budget evolution of rivers and lakes
- increasing temperatures in inland and coastal waters
- impact of varying physical forcing on ecosystems and morphodynamics
- new developments of habitats, biodiversity and alien invaders
- fluxes and fate of seawater constituents including pollutants
- role of Coastal Zone Management in adapting to climate change
