Integrating knowledge to assess coastal vulnerability to sea-level rise: the development of the DIVA tool

The development involved the two major challenges of integrating knowledge in the form of data, scenarios and models from various natural, social and engineering science disciplines and making this integrated knowledge accessible to a broad community of end-users.

These challenges were addressed by

1. creating and applying the DIVA method, an iterative, modular method for developing integrating models amongst distributed partners and
2.  making the data, scenarios and integrated model, equipped with a powerful graphical user interface, directly and freely available to end-users.
