Clear evidence for complex coastal decisions.
Coastal regions face interconnected pressures: changing sea levels, waves, extreme weather, heat and evolving patterns of water and sediment. Understanding these processes helps organisations plan infrastructure and services with greater confidence.
ECCLIPSE is an independent educational resource that brings related concepts together in accessible, decision-focused guides.
Learn about this website →Our editorial approach
We connect scientific concepts with practical questions for planners, engineers, port professionals and coastal communities.
Our guides encourage transparent assumptions, local evidence, collaboration and regular review—not one-size-fits-all solutions.

Featured articles
Start with these introductions to climate risk, coastal processes and resilient planning.
Climate Risk Assessment for European Ports
A structured approach to understanding how climate hazards can affect port operations, infrastructure and surrounding communities.
Building Practical Climate Adaptation Plans for Ports
How port authorities can turn climate risk evidence into a phased, measurable adaptation programme.
How Heatwaves Affect Port Operations
Explore the effects of extreme heat on workers, equipment, cargo, energy demand and service continuity.
Sea-Level Rise and the Future of Port Infrastructure
Understand how rising mean sea levels can change flood frequency, asset design assumptions and maintenance priorities.
Managing Flood Risk in Coastal and Estuarine Ports
A practical overview of compound flooding, drainage, thresholds, emergency procedures and recovery.
Using Climate Services in Port Decision-Making
How climate datasets, scenarios and decision support can inform investment and operational choices.
A systems perspective
Resilience is built across boundaries.
Infrastructure, ecosystems, supply chains and communities are connected. Effective adaptation considers these relationships and creates room to adjust as evidence and conditions evolve.
Use the guides to ask better questions
What is exposed? Which services are critical? What evidence is available? Who needs to be involved? Which actions remain useful under different future conditions?
