BROCHURE ON COASTAL RESEARCH
Change in Coastal Seas
Coasts are exceptionally dynamic areas. They are subject to highly fluctuating, sometimes extreme influences from sea, land and atmosphere. Against the backdrop of global change, coastal research needs to identify factors controlling coastal processes at an early stage, and needs to determine which countermeasures are both necessary and feasible. The brochure "Küstenmeere im Wandel" (Change in Coastal Seas), put together by the German Marine Research Consortium, outlines development trends at the German coast and defines areas requiring further research.
The brochure is available as a PDF file in German language:
