Coastal & Marine Processes (CMP)

The mission of the INQUA Commission for Coastal and Marine Processes (CMP) is to foster robust communication and international cooperation within the realm of Coastal and Marine Quaternary research. Over the course of its existence, the CMP commission has played a pivotal role in orchestrating a multitude of projects designed to establish an extensive network of researchers transcending disciplinary boundaries and geographical confines. The collaborative efforts within these networks have yielded a significant body of scholarly work, comprising numerous publications in reputable scientific journals and, on occasion, contributing valuable insights to the IPCC reports.
