Portal:THESEUS/Intro

THESEUS will develop a systematic approach to delivering both a low-risk coast for human use and healthy habitats for evolving coastal zones subject to multiple change factors. The innovative combined mitigation and adaptation technologies to be considered will include

• ecologically-based mitigation measures (such as restoration and/or creation of habitats)
• hydro-morphodynamic techniques (such as wave energy converters, sediments reservoirs, multi-purpose structures, overtop resistant dikes)
• actions to reduce the impact on society and economy (such as promotion of risk awareness or spatial planning)
• GIS-based software to support defence planning.
