NCK Theme Day - October 8
What insights can we still gain from coastal data collected decades—or even centuries—ago? On October 8, this NCK Theme Day brings together researchers, archivists, and coastal professionals to explore the untapped potential of historical sources in contemporary coastal science and management.
From tide gauge records and antique maps to handwritten field notes, we'll delve into how these materials can be discovered, interpreted, and applied in today’s research. The program features a diverse lineup of talks across disciplines, culminating in a plenary discussion on how to better integrate historical data into current coastal practices.
Join us to bridge the gap between past and present, and help shape the future of coastal research.

On Friday, August 1st, the YNCK community gathered along The Hague beach for an evening of fun, connection, and coastal vibes. Though the sun only peeked through the clouds occasionally and the wind made its presence known, the waves were a stunning sight —perfect for us coastal researchers! Short games of beach volleyball were played, though the wind had other plans. Still, the energy was high, the BBQ was delicious, and the turnout was great. Despite the breezy weather, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming, making it a memorable summer evening.
