Water Engineering and Management, in particular Watersystems

The overarching objective of the Climate Change impacts and Coastal risk Chair is to generate new fundamental scientific knowledge and formulate ground breaking theoretical and modelling concepts which will enable the development of innovative CC driven coastal risk assessment methods that are underpinned by state-of-the-art interdisciplinary science. The research undertaken within this program is highly inter-disciplinary and spans the fields of coastal engineering, climate science, hydrology, ecology, applied mathematics, physical geography, risk modelling, oceanography and governance.The research program comprises three main research lines:

·         Climate change impacts on coasts: The Science 
·         Probabilistic, scale-aggregated modelling of CC driven coastal hazards
·         Innovations in coastal risk assessment
