1. Swedish seagrass ecosystems in a changing climate : Coastal connectivity and global change sensitivity
Abstract : Coastal shallow-water ecosystems are essential for providing several goods and services globally, with seagrasses as an important contributor for maintaining high biodiversity and productivity within the nearshore seascape. The temperate species Zostera marina serves as a vital habitat for many species, including ecologically and economically important juvenile fish. READ MORE

2. Processes of long-term coastal evolution and their mathematical modelling : Application to the Mozambican coast
Abstract : Different processes in response to the action of natural driven forces and the human interference on coastal systems act together, contributing to shape the coast. Coastal evolution models have been developed as useful tools to better understand the contribution of different processes on observed coastal changes, and also to anticipate future evolution in response to different actions and interventions taking place along the coast.

3. Patterns of small-scale coastal fisheries and local fisheries management in Tanzania : adaptation to a changing climate
Abstract : Coastal habitats like mangroves, seagrass meadows, coral reefs, and adjacent offshore waters constitute an important part of the tropical coastal seascape. They provide conducive environmental conditions for fish and other marine animals, which serve as food and income for coastal communities around the world. READ MORE

4. Making Blue Carbon : Coastal Ecosystems at the Science-Policy Interface
Abstract : Climate change is a growing threat to mankind. The message from the scientific community is clear: we need to act fast and profoundly. The political response has, however, been slow. The likelihood that we will be able to meet our political climate goals only by reducing emissions is slim. READ MORE

5. Aerosol deposition to coastal forests: a wind tunnel approach
Abstract : Aerodynamically rough surfaces of forests provide for efficient air/ canopy exchange of mass, heat and momentum. In that context, the effects of forest edges come into focus, and therefore, coastal-zone forests constitute aparticular concern. READ MORE
