  Information - NH8.03 Slope instability and flooding events in rocky costal areas

Event Information
Coast is a complex environment that has attributes belonging to both terrestrial and marine environments. For this meaning, natural hazard assessment in these areas should combine both marine and terrestrial investigations, accounting for a system approach. This is particularly true for rocky coasts where onland and marine damaging slope instabilities triggered by meteo-marine events, seismic shake or volcanic activity may recur. Yet, tectonically uplifted coastal areas, are exposed to river/stream flooding, with most of the human activities located on unstable alluvial deltas or along the path of floodwaters.The main purpose of this session is to bridge information resulting from high resolution remote sensing techniques used for seafloor mapping (bathymetry, backscatter and sub-bottom profiling), with onland geological investigations and historical sources. Contributions focussing on rocky coastline changes due to exceptional events or addressed to rocky coast hazard mapping, modelling, monitoring are also included.
