LUILL Science Ilan and Implementation Strategy
rial fluxes and changes in river catchments (including
groundwater flux). The method has been applied to the
coastal seas of Africa, Europe, Asia, South America, the
Caribbean and Oceania.
Application of the Driver-Pressure-State-Impact-
Response (DPSIR) concept to address the human
dimensions of change in the coastal zone. An inter-
disciplinary pilot study in Southeast Asia has provided
approaches for integrating biogeochemical studies with
methods for estimating nutrient wastes.
Development of a coastal zone typology. The
web-based typology (hercules.kgs.ku.edu/hexacoral/
envirodata/hex_modfilt_firststep3dev 1.cfm) com-
prises a global database (0.5 degree resolution, over
140 variables) linked to assessment and visualisation
software (LOICZView) for classifying and scaling
(palantir.swarthmore.edu/loicz). Assessments con-
sider parameters of human (e.g. Figure 4) and natural
pressures to evaluate regional and global-scale coastal
change.
Training and capacity building. Training workshops
(in collaboration with START, IHDP, IOC, UNEP,
IOI and others) on biogeochemical modelling, typol-ogy applications, river basin assessments and coastal
zone management have enhanced the dissemination of
LOICZ outputs.
Consideration of seven of the GAIM Earth System
questions (Sahagian and Schellnhuber, 2002) has guided
formulation of the LOICZ scientific themes, with a view
to promoting improved integrative and policy-relevant
study of the linked biogeochemical, physical and human
dimensions of coastal change. The seven questions are
listed below together with the LOICZ expectations:
* Question 7 (Analytical): Which are the most
vulnerable coastal regions under global change?
LOICZ Expectation: A typology of coastal
vulnerability to global change on various
spatial and temporal scales.
* Question 8 (Analytical): How are abrupt and
extreme events processed through nature-soci-
ety interactions?
LOICZ Expectation: Description of the
impact on co-evolving coastal environments
and societies of abrupt and extreme events.ri-yure 4. IOual typoluy irloWIi ly esiii- dteu uiturvasie III ir astal ecusyslerII at paticuIai I lcaiiies uUs to pOpultliiir
