| Abstract |
In 2024, the Working Group on Marine and Coastal Geography (Arbeitskreis Geographie der Meere und Küsten, AMK) looked back on 40 years of exchange and collaboration between coastal scientists and professionals. Since its foundation in 1983 as a working group of the German Society for Geography (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Geographie, DGfG) (Paffen & Kortum 1984; Zimmermann 1984), the AMK has developed into a central platform for research on coastal geographical research in German-speaking countries, fostering a dialogue across physical and human geography as well as many neighbouring disciplines. This special issue marks the anniversary by highlighting both contemporary research perspectives in marine and coastal geography based on global examples and the practices of coastal observation and protection along the German coasts. |
