INQUA 2404 my: EvolutiOn of Seascapes (OnSea)
ONSEA aims at creating a large interdisciplinary community of PhD, DCR, ECR and SS, sharing common interest in the study of the geomorphological evolution and the human occupation of the coastlines during the Holocene.
This project arises from the experience of the previous CMP NEPTUNE project, which created a network of junior and senior geoscientists and archaeologists interested in the development of innovative techniques and procedures to analyze the past landscape evolution at a wider scale from the shoreline to the continental shelf.ONSEA project points to widen the NEPTUNE research topics studying both coastal drowned and landlocked landscapes.
Research directions are as follows:
- Geoarchaeological studies of coastal areas;
- From field data to modeling approaches;
- New perspectives for paleo-landscape reconstructions;
- Coastal response to past and future climate changes;
- Past interactions between human societies and coastal processes;
- Shelf-to-nearshore evolution modeling.
