Coastal connections: Interdisciplinary methodologies for resilient shores
Time
6:00 - 7:00 p.m. (GMT+1)
About
In this webinar, we invite two AXA Research fellows on Coastal Livelihoods to present their research, explore their contributions to the Ocean Decade mission, and highlight the opportunities this platform can provide.
The AXA Research Fund has awarded 8 fellowships to researchers worldwide, providing support for research projects focused on coastal and community resilience. These projects take an interdisciplinary approach and offer valuable perspectives on coastal resilience from physical, economic, and social standpoints.
In this webinar, we will invite two of the fellows to present their research and the potential it holds for understanding and enhancing coastal and community resilience. By analysing two different scientific approaches to the topic of coastal resilience, the webinar will dive into the added value of different perspectives and methodologies to understand coastal environments
