  1. Defining the tasks needed to achieve the project objectives and next steps

9:00-10:30:    For this discussion, we would like to ask each one of you to think about which are, in your view, the key knowledge gaps in coastal sea level that we still did not address in this project. Can it be done in the time available and with the data available?

10:30-11:00: Coffee break

  1. Other contributions (Kristin, Chris P and others).
