Title
DAM mareXtreme METAScales: Multiscale modelling of marine extremes and their socio-economic impacts
General information
Coastal and marine ecosystems face major risks from climate change and human activities. Extreme events such as storms, floods and heatwaves significantly affect biodiversity and the functioning of these ecosystems. These events occur at different spatial and temporal scales and are often difficult to predict. We need to understand and manage these impacts to ensure the resilience and sustainability of coastal and marine areas.
The project aims to develop accurate models covering different spatial and temporal scales to predict storms, hurricanes, storm surges and heat waves. We also want to increase the adaptive capacity and resilience of coastal and marine ecosystems. Our project partners work closely with scientists, authorities, local communities and other stakeholders to develop science-based measures and strategies that promote the protection and sustainable use of these ecosystems.
Our objectives in detail:
1. Creation and validation of multi-scale models:
Development of models covering different spatial and temporal scales to predict marine extreme events.
Validation of the models by comparison with historical data and current observations.
2. Assessment of socio-economic impacts:
Analysis of the direct and indirect socio-economic impacts of marine extreme events.
Consideration of factors such as damage to infrastructure, impacts on fisheries and tourism, and population health.
3. Development of adaptive strategies:
Development of strategies to adapt to the predicted extreme events.
Recommendations for policy measures and management strategies to mitigate risks and promote resilience.
4. Scientific and technical cooperation:
Promoting interdisciplinary cooperation between scientists, engineers, policy makers and stakeholders.
Building networks and partnerships to jointly address the challenges.
