DESCRIPTION:The most pressing questions related to future climates is how 
 much and how fast sea level will rise. The study of shallow water or inter
 tidal geological facies deposited during past warm periods (e.g. the Last 
 Interglacial\, the mid-Pliocene) can provide answers to such questions. Co
 upling such geological research with the approaches typical of coastal dyn
 amics research has the potential to provide further insights into question
 s related to the intensity of waves in warmer worlds\, and to gauge the ef
 fects of future coastal dynamics in environments at risk\, such as coral r
 eefs.\n\nIn this talk\, I will discuss recent research from the Sea Level 
 and Coastal changes Group (MARUM-University of Bremen and ZMT\, The Leibni
 z Center for Tropical Marine Research) oriented towards the advancement of
  our understanding related to sea-level variations in the past and their p
 ossible implications for our future coastlines.
