We investigate how to manage natural resources and reduce pollution, supporting a more sustainable relationship between people and the environment.
Research topics
Management of natural resources
We research the sustainable use of water, land and energy in infrastructure, using nature-based solutions and systems approaches to protect ecosystems and strengthen resilience.
Example highlight: Community Water Management for a Liveable London (CAMELLIA)
Coastal erosion and sea level rise
We study coastal protection strategies that combine engineering and nature-based approaches to protect communities from flooding, erosion and rising seas.
Example highlight: Impact of tsunamis on coastal structures
Understanding climate sensitivities
We study how climate is shaped by interactions between air, sea and land, using data and modelling to improve predictions of sea level rise, extreme weather and water availability.
Example highlights:
Pollution mitigation
We design systems to reduce pollution in air and water, from nutrient runoff and plastics to vehicle emissions and contrails.
