COASTAL SEDIMENTS 2023 CONFERENCE SESSION
Special Session – From Cores to Code: Data-Model Integration to Improve Reconstructions and Forecasts of Coastal Change
11-15 April 2023
Conveners: Chris Hein, Jessica Pilarczyk
Session details: Coastal communities are prone to a range of geohazards, including sea-level rise, storms, subsidence, earthquakes and tsunamis. Improving our ability to forecast coastal response to these driving mechanisms enables more effective decision-making about how best to manage the coastal zone. Accurate forecasts of coastal change are best achieved by combining geological field and laboratory data with predictive numerical models. However, coastal geologists and numerical modellers often approach the issue in different and not always complementary ways. We welcome abstracts that address this challenge through integration of stratigraphic data and/or direct observations of coastal change with numerical models to fore- and hind-cast coastal behaviour in response to drivers that operate over a range of spatio-temporal scales. Example topics include coastal morphodynamics, sea-level change, coastal hazards (storms, earthquakes, and tsunamis), and statistical approaches leading to an enhanced understanding of geological datasets from coastal environments.

IGCP 725's Virtual Workshop on Radiocarbon Dating
A free and fully virtual workshop focused on the applications, approaches, tools, and pitfalls of radiocarbon Ddting. The workshop involves a series of twelve 15-20 minute pre-recorded presentations which we will post for attendees one week in advance of the workshop. On 19th January 2022 (UTC) we will host two synchronous breakout sessions which will kick off with a 5-minute recap talk by each expert. Attendees will have the opportunity to interact with topical experts and discuss their own data/project needs and questions.
