Specialist research areas

Geophysical Flows:

 

Air/sea interactions

• Southern North Sea storm surges, tide-surge-wave interactions

Coastal engineering

• 'soft' engineering of coastal managed realignments; landscape effects of structures

Meteorology

• storm impacts on wetlands, dunes, soft rock cliffs

Ocean processes

• sea level variation, including inter-annual variability on wetland and coral reef surfaces

River dynamics

• sediment supply to coastal ecosystems

Sediment transport

• sediment transport, sedimentation and accretion in coastal wetlands (saltmarshes and mangroves)

Shallow water flows

• wave energy dissipation over saltmarsh surfaces (field and flume)

Waves/Free-surface Flows:

 

Surface gravity waves

• wave modification by vegetated intertidal wetland surfaces

Wave breaking

• wave breaking over wetland surfaces (field and flume)
