Summer School - Coastal Hazards 16-20 September 2013, Kiel University
FUTURE OCEAN – KIEL MARINE SCIENCES
Understanding the Ocean — Sustaining Our Future
The Cluster of Excellence “The Future Ocean” pursues a research approach that is unique in Germany: marine researchers, geologists and economists join forces with mathematicians, computing, medical, legal, and social scientists to investigate ocean and climate change from a multidisciplinary perspective. A total of over 200 scientists from Kiel University, the GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel, the Institute for the World Economy (IfW) and the Muthesius Academy of Fine Arts are using innovative means to share their findings with the scientific community, stakeholders, decision makers, civil society and the public at large.
The “Future Ocean” is funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG). In the summer term 2013 researchers from geosciences, coastal engineering, economics, and law jointly investigate oceanic and coastal geohazards and their socio-economic consequences.

The summer school “Coastal hazards“ will take place from 16th to 20th September, a week before the 6th International Symposium on Submarine Mass Movement and their Consequences [ISSMMTC6] 23rd — 25th September 2013.
