Join our Coastal Zone Session at the EGU2022 meeting in May 2022!
The General Assembly 2022 of the European Geosciences Union (EGU) is held at the Austria Center Vienna (ACV) in Vienna, Austria & Online, from 23–27 May 2022.
Our EGU2022 Session: Coastal zone geomorphologic interactions: natural versus human-induced driving factors (GM6.7) will be held on Tue, 24 May, 15:10–16:37 (CEST), Room 0.16
The session is organized by Margarita Stancheva, Andreas Baas, Hannes Tõnisson, Guillaume Brunier and Giorgio Anfuso.
The session will be conducted for the fourteenth time and is sponsored by the Commissions on Coastal Systems) (CCS) of the International Geographical Union (IGU), http://igu-coast.org/
The registration for the meeting is available now and the early bird on-site registration fee rates are only available until 31st March at 13:00 CE.
As EGU22 is fully hybrid, there are two types of registration available, on-site registration and virtual registration:
• On-site participation - Due to regulations connected to the Hygiene Plan, registration for on-site attendance at EGU22 will close 13.00 CET 14 April 2022. As mentioned above, early-bird rates will be available until 13.00 CET 31 March.
• Virtual participation - Virtual registration is not subject to restrictions, and so is available until 27 May 2022 (the last day of the General Assembly), but we are offering early-bird rates until 13.00 CET 31 March to help with our digital capacity planning.

We are looking forward to see you at our session meeting and to your active participation!
Opening Conference of the eMSP NBSR project
The opening conference of the eMSP project will be organized on the 22nd of February, 10:30-17:30 CET, online. Aim of the conference is to introduce the topics and working methods of the eMSP NBSR project, as well as to discuss opportunities of stakeholders to get involved in project activities.
The opening conference of the eMSP NBSR project will introduce the Communities of Practice (CoP) partners are building within learning strands presenting five emerging MSP topics:
• Ocean governance
• Ecosystem-based approach
• Sustainable blue economy
• Monitoring and evaluation
• Data sharing, information and communication technology serving MSP.
Science policy interface will facilitate the knowledge gained throughout the project by providing scientific advice in the learning strands and establishing a project scientific advisory board.
Throughout the opening conference participants will have a chance to learn more about the Green Deal aspects to be considered in MSP, methods of the ‘Community of Practice’ and ‘Scientific Advisory Board’ and contribute to the discussions within the learning strands.

EGU2022 GM6.7 Session: Coastal zone geomorphologic interactions: natural versus human-induced driving factors
We are pleased to invite abstracts to the following EGU2022 GM6.7: Coastal zone geomorphologic interactions: natural versus human-induced driving factors
Conveners: Margarita Stancheva, Andreas Baas, Hannes Tõnisson, Guillaume Brunier, Giorgio Anfuso
Coastal zones worldwide face numerous pressures of anthropogenic impact, including urbanization, pollution, and resource extraction. Associated problems include coastal erosion, often aggravated by hard engineering responses, and pollution of waters and sediments affecting ecology and human health.
This session explores the interactions between natural geomorphic processes and human interventions in the coastal zone. Topics include work on predicting shoreline change and the effects of human activities on the coast, including coastal vulnerability to natural and human-related hazards, coastal and environmental sensitivity classifications and risk assessments, impacts on coastal dune fields, eco-restoration and re-building of coastal environments, Marine Spatial Planning, and Integrated Coastal Management.
