After four years of research, collaboration and development, the CoCliCo project (Coastal Climate Core Services) has reached its conclusion. Funded under the European Union’s Horizon 2020 programme, CoCliCo set out to tackle one of Europe’s most pressing long-term challenges: helping coastal communities, planners and policymakers understand and prepare for sea-level rise. As the project closes, […]
The CoCliCo platform’s Flood Maps User Story provides crucial datasets for assessing coastal flood risks across Europe. Policymakers, urban planners, and coastal communities access scenario-driven visualizations to inform decision-making related to rising sea levels and storms. The maps aid in identifying vulnerable areas and supporting risk management strategies.
The CoCliCo platform’s “Projections of Exposed People” User Story offers insights into future populations at risk from coastal flooding, integrating flood and population data under diverse climate and socioeconomic scenarios. It aims to assist policymakers, urban planners, and resilience experts in making informed adaptation decisions to mitigate flood risks effectively.
As climate change accelerates, better tools are needed to assess and adapt to rising sea levels and coastal flooding. Iria Suárez Corral, a PhD candidate and consultant at IHCantabria, is contributing to this challenge as part of the CoCliCo project. Her research focuses on improving the way coastal defense structures are represented in flood models, […]
Coastal adaptation is a crucial step in mitigating the impacts of rising sea levels, but how can we determine the most effective and economically sound solutions? Vanessa Völz, a Doctoral Researcher at the Global Climate Forum (GCF), is tackling this challenge head-on as part of the CoCliCo project. Her work focuses on conducting cost-benefit analyses […]
Rising sea levels and increasing flood risks are some of the most pressing challenges of our time. For Dr. Ulysse Pasquier, tackling these challenges is both a professional mission and a deeply personal one. As a Senior Research Associate at the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research at the University of East Anglia, Ulysse brings […]
How can we better predict the impact of coastal flooding across diverse shorelines? That question drives the research of Camila Cotrim, a pre-doctoral researcher at IHCantabria and PhD candidate in Coastal Engineering at the University of Cantabria. As part of the CoCliCo project, she is working to develop a large-scale framework for assessing coastal flood […]
Understanding how coastal populations will evolve under different climate and socioeconomic scenarios is essential for preparing for future risks. Hedda Bonatz, a PhD researcher at the University of Kiel, is at the forefront of this challenge as part of the CoCliCo project. Her work focuses on producing high-resolution population projections to assess exposure to coastal […]
The 21st century has witnessed an unprecedented rise in global mean sea level (GMSL), a trend that is projected to continue till at least 2100. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) reports that GMSL rose faster in the 20th century than in any prior century over the last three millennia. The rise has been […]
Climate change remains a complex global challenge, with various factors influencing its dynamics. A pivotal study, supported by the CoCliCo project and published in Nature Communications, sheds light on the significant association between time variations in the climate feedback parameter (λ) and the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO). Exploring Climate Feedback Parameter Variations The climate feedback […]
