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)
