Physical and biological dynamic coastal processes and their role in coastal recovery (BLUE-coast) – Associated PhD student
BLUEcoast combines the expertise of biologists, coastal engineers, geologists, geographers, and oceanographers with complementary field, laboratory and numerical skills, to understand the processes controlling the dynamics of our coastal systems.
Using case study sites across England we aim to inform shoreline management by reducing uncertainties in the prediction of medium-term (years) and long -term (decadal and longer) regional sediment budgets, morphological change and how the coast recovers after sequences of storm events. As it is not feasible to quantify all the relevant morphodynamic processes at high spatial resolution across the entire UK coast, we focus on a number of different coastal systems representing:
- Exposed (high energy) sandy coast with rocky headlands (SW England).
- Partially-exposed (medium-wave energy) sand-shingle coast, with soft rock cliffs and subtidal sediments (E England, Suffolk coast).
- Mixed sand-mud coasts and estuaries (NW England, Morecambe Bay; & E England, Essex estuaries).
Our aim is to develop an integrated modelling tool that will be used to evaluate coastal resilience and scope alternative management options along managed coastlines with critical Energy infrastructure (SE England, Dungeness foreland & E England, Minsmere nature reserve).
