MEDFLOOD project started in April 2012, therefore is still in startup phase. As soon as first results will be available, they will be inserted in this website.
The various experts within the MEDFLOOD team will interact and share field observations for geology and archaeology and modellers of past glacial changes. This will allow us to provide constraints on past sea levels and, where possible, on estimated future sea-level rise. The key achievements of the projects will be:
-
Improved knowledge of MIS 5.5 and Holocene shorelines along the coasts of the Mediterranean;
-
Improved current glacial-isostatic modelling solutions in the Mediterranean;
-
Improved understanding of vertical land movements in the Mediterranean;
-
The creation of a freely accessible WEB-GIS with MIS 5.5 and Holocene shoreline data;
-
The creation of regional sea-level rise projections for 2100 using the available DTMs;
-
Collaboration with IPCC for the Mediterranean sea;
-
Publication of results in international, peer-reviewed scientific journals and online.
-
Dissemination of results to policy makers and managers for planning, land use and hazards related to future sea-level rise.
