Project description

Study coastal dunes and beaches using drones, GIS, and geospatial technologies.

Supervisors research focus

I am a coastal geomorphologist/geoscientist with a keen interest in beach and dune dynamics, geomorphology, ecology, evolution, GIS, and management. I’m interested in projects that involve: field and computer modelling studies of wind flow and sand transport over dunes, historical evolution of dunefields and relationships to climate change, surfzone-beach-dune interactions, beach erosion and sea level rise, coastal plant ecology, coastal barrier evolution in the past 10,000 years, impacts of fires on dunes, and more.


Note: You need to register interest in projects from different supervisors (not a number of projects with the one supervisor).
You must also contact each supervisor directly to discuss both the project details and your suitability to undertake the project.
