As a coastal engineer my research interests include nature-based shoreline protection, resilience, vulnerability, and general coastal processes like waves, tides, storm surge, and sediment transport.
Within the broader topic of coastal resilience, I focus on resilience of the built environment (infrastructure) to extreme events and sea level rise; and also the resilience benefits provided to the built environment by natural and nature-based features.
Expertise:
- Coastal resilience, vulnerability, and adaption
- Highways and bridges in the coastal environment
- Natural hazards including coastal storms and sea level rise
- Nature-based shore protection including living shorelines
- Coastal mapping, monitoring, and measurement studies
