WP1 aims to assess the risks of exposure to marine heatwaves (MHWs) across various territories by utilizing observational data and numerical simulations. This work package will analyze large-scale MHWs and their impacts on specific lagoons/atolls, as well as project their future characteristics. The objective is to identify the areas most exposed or protected to guide territorial management. WP1 includes three defined tasks, coordinated by S. Cravatte:
Leaders: S. Cravatte (LEGOS, IRD, NC) and T. Izumo (SECOPOL, IRD, FP)
Leaders: R. Le Gendre (ENTROPIE, Ifremer, NC) and S. Andrefouet (ENTROPIE, IRD, FP)
Leaders: C. Menkes (ENTROPIE, IRD, NC) and M. Lengaigne (MARBEC, IRD, France)
