C4: Coastal morphodynamics

(C. Winter, Bremen; B.W. Flemming, Wilhelmshaven; J. Bartholdy, Kopenhagen)

This session will focus on shallow-water environments where the oceans meet the land. It addresses the multi-disciplinary topic of coastal morphodynamics. Coastal morphodynamics are driven by the continuous interplay of meteorological, hydrodynamic, sediment-dynamic, and anthropogenic forcing. In the recent past, new technologies have substantially improved the scientific databases. Numerical models have been developed for the inter- and extrapolation of field data. Advances in software engineering have brought about post-processing software suitable for the visualisation of multi-dimensional data. This session convenes scientists and engineers of all disciplines to exchange ideas and thoughts. We welcome presentations and posters on coastal hydrodynamics, sediment dynamics, morphodynamics, sensor technology, field measurements, numerical models, and related subjects.
