RISKCOAST disseminates its main results in congresses, media and at its final meeting in Granada (Spain)
This information has been presented during the last months in different spaces and for different audiences in order to disseminate as much as possible the results obtained during the last 3 years.
With respect to processes related to terrain instability, the ADATOOLS tool developed within the framework of RISKCOAST was presented at the General Assembly of the European Geosciences Union (EGU).

At the International Symposium on Ground Deformation Monitoring JISDM 2022 held in Valencia, the prize for the best poster of the symposium was awarded to the RISKCOAST team with a study of ground instabilities identified in the Lisbon metropolitan area.

With respect to the studies developed on erosion analysis, hydrology and coastal dynamics, at the 39th International Congress of the International Association for Hydro-Environment Engineering and Research (IAHR), the work related to climate change scenarios and their impact on water resources, the fluvial environment and soil loss was disseminated.

The media have also echoed the activities of the project. Rosa María Mateos, member of the Spanish Geological and Mining Institute team was interviewed on RTVE by Juan Luis Arsuaga. In the interview there was an opportunity to talk about the activities of the RISKCOAST project and its main results.
The simulation carried out in Bidart (France), at the end of May this year, was covered in news programs on France TV and TV5Monde channels, and in the local newspaper Sud Ouest. These appearances of RISKCOAST in the media join those already made on Canal Sur in Andalusia or on the IB3 in Ibiza.

Among the dissemination activities, it is worth mentioning the publication of the video of the emergency drill in Mallorca on the project's Youtube channel. This video summarizes the objectives, products and experiences that have been developed in RISKCOAST.
