The group has links with researchers from a number of different groups and centres. We also work extensively with researchers in Europe and elsewhere.
The work in the Maldives took place as part of the £2.8 million ARISE project
New research builds on studies suggesting the islands – found mostly in the Pacific and Indian Oceans – could survive predicted rises in sea levels
A new project, funded by UK Research and Innovation, will lead to the creation of a digital twin of wave overtopping
The £2.8million ARISE project will enable scientists to better understand the processes impacting communities in the Indian and Pacific Oceans
The first UK Coastal Research Conference was attended by more than 130 researchers, practitioners and representatives
In 2013–14 some of the most energetic series of storms ever hit our coastline.
Many beaches across the South West of England have still not fully recovered from the erosion. But where did the sand go?
