Trois communications d'Alexandre Magnan dans le cadre de la conférence "Coastal Systems, Global Change and Sustainability" organisée par Land-Ocean Interactions in the Coastal Zone, projet de l'International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme (IGBP) et de l'International Human Dimensions Programme on Global Environmental Change (IHDP).

Présentation de la conférence [en anglais] :

"The LOICZ OSC (Open Science Conference) is arranged around the overarching topic on 'Coastal vulnerability and sustainability to support adaptation to global change'.

Three major pillars are:

 a) The synthesis of past years of LOICZ process and conceptual research, including social-ecological system concepts and assessments on multiple scales, the theory and practical application of governance baseline assessments, application and findings of biogeochemical assessment and modeling and the interaction of fluxes and change with costal ecosystems.

b) Providing the state-of-the-art understanding of hotspot areas of current future coastal change in the Arctic, urbanized coastal zones and megacities, islands and river-mouths-systems, including estuaries and deltas; supported by cross-disciplinary science including ecological economics, observation and modeling. This part is expected to lead the project into its future research priorities and assist in agenda setting.

c) Sessions providing insight into the regional and national research priorities and recent findings on global change and coastal zones."
