To what extent extreme waves generated by cyclones and tsunamis represent a hazard for Atlantic and Arctic Canada is poorly constrained, and a clear picture of the consequences of climate change on coastal processes is still missing. The goal of the proposed Canada Research Chair is to evaluate coastal vulnerability by defining the recurrence time of pre-industrial cyclones and tsunamis, and to quantify the fate of the sediment produced by coastal erosion, and the transport mechanisms, in a changing climate. The results will support the management of Canadian coastal zones and will provide additional constraints on future climate change projections.

旋风和海啸产生的极端波在多大程度上代表了对大西洋和北极加拿大的危害，这是很少的限制，并且清楚地了解了气候变化对沿海过程的后果仍然缺失。拟议的加拿大研究主席的目的是通过定义工业前旋风和海啸的复发时间来评估沿海脆弱性，并在不断变化的气候下量化沿海侵蚀产生的沉积物的命运以及运输机制。结果将支持加拿大沿海地区的管理，并将对未来的气候变化预测提供其他限制。
