The European Geosciences Union (EGU) General Assembly 2024 took place from April 14–19 in Vienna, Austria, and online, gathering geoscientists from across the globe. This premier event covered all disciplines of Earth, planetary, and space sciences, offering a broad spectrum of topics relevant to the TRACE project.
During the conference, team members from the University of Bucharest presented the TRACE project’s preliminary findings from recent field campaigns. Their work, titled “Long-term Evolution of Danube Delta Barrier Islands under Influence of Storms, Floods, and Big Breaches,” detailed the barrier coastline’s evolution in response to storm variability, river sediment supply, accommodation space, and the morphodynamic feedbacks associated with extensive breaches.
The presentation underscored the complex interactions shaping the Danube delta barrier islands, emphasizing how storm events, floods, and breaches influence the long-term stability and morphology of the coastline. These insights are crucial for predicting future changes and implementing effective coastal management strategies.
Moreover, the conference featured numerous presentations addressing climate change from a geomorphological perspective. These recent studies, highlighted during various scientific sessions, are recommended as valuable bibliographic references. They provide essential information for students and researchers to deepen their understanding of the phenomena explored within the TRACE project.
The EGU General Assembly 2024 not only showcased the latest advancements in geosciences but also fostered collaboration and knowledge exchange, contributing to the ongoing success and impact of the TRACE project.
