STEM foundation of Oceans and Coasts
The science, technology, engineering and mathematics Oceans and Coasts rests on. Each method has a canonical page in the STEM Commons, hosted by the Global Centre for Risk and Innovation (GCRI), and a page here on how it is applied in this field.
STEM foundation of Oceans and Coasts in four parts.

Why ocean and coastal needs this combination of methods.
Ocean and coastal work combines ocean science and ecology, Earth observation and geospatial methods, extreme value statistics for surges, geoscience for coasts and environmental engineering for defences.
Grounding makes claims checkable.
When a finding names the methods it depends on, a reader can see its assumptions and limits, and an expert in that method can challenge it.

Reports is the Consortium’s quarterly publication. What you know about this subject can become evidence, a case or a correction in the next edition, credited to you and published under CC BY 4.0 where it is your own work.
- EmailGateway GW-GCRISend it from this pageEvidence, a correction, a case, a method, a review, a translation or profile input. It arrives tagged with this page, so the editor who owns it receives it.
- ZenodoOpen depositDeposit it and submit to the communityPublish your own record on Zenodo with your ORCID iD, then submit it to the Reports community there. Curators review it; the DOI stays yours.

Never send personal data, sensitive infrastructure detail or anything you have no right to share. A contribution is reviewed before use; sending it confers no authorship or editorial rights, and sponsorship never buys a finding.
