Coastal Resilience Webinar Series
A webinar series on coastal resilience, featuring case studies, research, and stories of resilient coastal communities, along with real-world solutions to protect and restore coastal ecosystems. Led by the Decade Collaborative Centre for Coastal Resilience, Deltares is proud be an organising partner of the series.
The May 21 webinar will feature Federica Borile, postdoctoral researcher at the University of Bologna, where she contributes to the development of a new reanalysis of the Mediterranean Sea spanning the last 45 years. Her work focuses on improving ocean modeling and enhancing the simulation of key processes such as water mass formation, mesoscale dynamics, and decadal sea level trends.
Abstract
The presented study investigates decadal mean sea level variability in the Mediterranean Sea (1993–2022) using satellite altimetry, tide gauges, and reanalyses. Results show an Eastern Mediterranean sea level trend slowdown mainly driven by increased evaporation, highlighting the need for continued monitoring to improve projections and inform effective adaptation strategies.
About the speaker
Federica Borile is a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Bologna. With a background in physics and a PhD conducted in collaboration with CMCC, her research focuses on ocean circulation, tides, and the development of a 45-year Mediterranean Sea reanalysis to improve the simulation of key physical processes and sea level trends.
