Welcome to the Sedimentology, Coastal and Continental Shelf Research Group

Prof. Dr. Karl Stattegger



and the JRG Sea-Level Rise & Coastal Erosion, Cluster of Excellence „The Future Ocean“

Prof. Dr. Kerstin Schrottke



Two thirds of the worlds' population live within 50 km of the coastline. Therefore, coastal zones and shelf seas play an important role with respect to climate- variability and human activities. Coasts and shallow waters are a special topic of research at the IfG. Ongoing global climatic change is evidenced by sea-level-rise and by increase in the frequency and intensity of storms. Together with intensive human use of resources and habitation we observe rapid reorganisation in the shore zone.
