1st International OnSea Workshop
Coastlines in a changing world: Seascape evolution during the Late Quaternary
Logistics
Date: 11–12 October
Location: Montpellier, France
Scope
The 1st OnSea (EvolutiOn of SEAscapes) workshop aims at creating a forum regarding a range of thematic topics related to environmental changes of coastal areas and their relation with anthropogenic activities such as:
• Paleo-environmental reconstruction of coastal areas;
• Coastal geoarchaeology;
• Records of sea-level changes and paleo sea-level studies;
• Adaptation of coastal communities to climate and coastal changes;
• Use of new technologies in coastal studies;
• Interdisciplinary collaboration in coastal research.
Activities
We are planning 20 oral presentations (12 minutes + 3 minutes Q&A) and a Poster session as well as group activities over the two days.
