The superordinate goal of the Forschungszentrum Küste is the scientific investigation of hydrodynamic, morphodynamic and ecological processes at the coast and in front of the coast. These processes, their interaction as well as their temporal and spatial variation must be described and forecasted. Trends concerning potential changes of the natural processes must duly be identified and interpreted. Environmental intervention must be predicted regarding the impact in the near and far field. Moreover, recommendations shall evolve, which ensure that necessary intervention always accounts for the natural coastal environment. Eventually, scientific principles for the coastal environment will be developed.
