External driving forces : Societal constraints : Climate change, sea level rise, coastal development.

External driving forces : Societal constraints : Climate change, sea level rise, coastal development. Environmental protection, sustainable development, safety + security. Technology push : ICT, remote sensing. Market pull : Innovation Increased aggregates demand, seabed mining, coastal protection methods, infrastructure at sea, renewable energies (offshore). in marine application Tools : Processes : • Vessels • Drilling • Cutting • • • Geotechnics Wave climate Energy transformation Sediment balance Morphodynamics

Needs : • Aggregate dredging • Maintenance dredging • Capital dredging • Infrastructure •

Needs : • Aggregate dredging • Maintenance dredging • Capital dredging • Infrastructure • Coastal protection

Conclusions : • Considerable scope for future marine / oceanographic research • Detailed programme

Conclusions : • Considerable scope for future marine / oceanographic research • Detailed programme by research community • Interaction and synergy between 5 disciplines to be stimulated • Need for large models requires international cooperation
