Title
DAM mareXtreme MULTI-MAREX: A living laboratory for improved forecasting and action options for multiple geomarine extreme events
General information
As part of the MULTI-MAREX joint project, a living laboratory will be set up in the Aegean Sea to research marine geological extreme events and the associated hazards in order to develop the necessary action knowledge for dealing with geo-risks at different levels. This living laboratory will generate practice-relevant knowledge for dealing with marine geo-hazards. We are addressing scientists, authorities, coastal communities and other interest groups (stakeholders) to jointly develop strategies and measures that promote the protection and sustainable use of coastal regions. Our goal is to sustainably strengthen the resilience and adaptability of coastal communities and their residents.
