Field of our activities

• coastal changes and performing coastal
  protection studies with the
• use of remote sensing methods
• coastal changes as a result of an extreme storm
  events
• shoreline evolution and coastal dynamics related
  with sea-level
• rise and storm risk and its interaction with
  human activities
• coastal classification and historical coastal
  vegetation changes
• GIS applications to coastal morphodynamics and
  landscape
• analysis
