Box 3. Terms of Reference for LOICZ Theme Operations
* To provide a scientific framework for
the project lifetime (broad scope,
inclusive).
* To provide an enabling platform for
assessment and synthesis.
* To provide a home for a flexible agenda
of research topics that informs across
the scales of Earth System questions,
as well as across national and local
management needs.
* To operate as an integration and syn-
thesis mechanism for:
* existing research,
* promote upcoming research,
* create new innovative research.Overview of Themes
To address its objective, LOICZ has developed five
research themes (Figure 6) cross-linked to the five ele-
ments of the DPSIR framework, all with common terms
of reference (Box 3). An overview of the themes (with
relevant DPSIR framework elements indicated) is pro-
vided below, with details given in subsequent sections.
Theme 1: Vulnerability of coastal systems and hazards
to society (D, I and R) sets the stage for the subsequent
themes which address the wider coastal domain. It is
integrative in nature, and deals with coupled human-
ecological system change and carrying capacities and
vulnerability issues, including the risk of degrading
sustainability of coastal goods and services.
Theme 2: Implications of global change for coastal
ecosystems and sustainable development (P, S and
I) focuses on conflicting spatial, temporal and organi-
sational issues of coastal change, land and sea use, and
how these influence natural resource availability and
sustainability.
Theme 3: Human influences on river basin-coastal
zone interactions (D, P, S and I) considers river basin
drivers/pressures that influence and change the coastal
domain. The whole water continuum is considered as
a single system. The processes of material transport to
the ocean, and human influences due to activities in the
EEZ, are included through links to Themes 2 and 4.* Provide a clearing house for the out-
puts of a multi-disciplinary group of
scientists for:
* Establishing and maintaining the net-
works to source scientific and funding
opportunities,
* Generating and supervising science
dissemination including portals for dif-
ferent user groups,
* Engaging with users and scientists
to revise the agenda periodically and
deliver the related products in a time
bound fashion.stem sustainability byn
