The Decade Collaborative Center for Coastal Resilience and CoastPredict at OSM26

The Ocean Sciences Meeting (OSM26) will take place from 22 to 27 February 2026 at the Scottish Event Campus in Glasgow, United Kingdom. The meeting provides a high-level forum for discussing scientific progress and emerging priorities related to ocean observing, prediction, climate adaptation, and sustainable coastal management.

The DCC-CR and CoastPredict convened a session

Resilient Coasts: Assessing and Managing Ocean-Related Risks

Primary Chair
Nadia Pinardi, University of Bologna; Centro Euro-Mediterraneo sui Cambiamenti Climatici (CMCC), Italy

Co-chairs
Alejandro Jose Souza, CINVESTAV-IPN
Moninya Roughan, University of New South Wales

Student/Early Career Chair
Saviour Udo-Akuaibit, University of Calabar

The session showcases advanced techniques for detecting and forecasting coastal risks, spanning pollution events, marine heatwaves, extreme weather phenomena, and compound multi-hazard scenarios. Presentations highlight the transformative role of Artificial Intelligence, cost-effective observation systems, and new approaches to equitable cloud-based data access and modelling infrastructures.
