Summary

 

Coastal Engineering

  • Coastal Hydrodynamics
  • Wave propagation over complex bathymetry
  • Nonlinear wave interactions and characteristics of the largest waves
  • Wave breaking
  • Environmental loading on Coastal Structures
  • Nature-based solutions for coastal protection
  • Marine Renewables
  • Sediment Transport

Extreme Events

show research
  • Wave statistics (crest heights, wave heights, kinematics)
  • Rogue waves and extreme events in shallow water
  • Long-term statistics of sea-states used in marine and coastal design
  • Climate change effects on sea-state severity
  • Coastal flood risk analysis
