Over 30 years experience in coastal, estuarine, fluvial and limnological research, specialising in hydrodynamics, sediment transport, landform morphodynamics and physically-based, reduced complexity, and system-level models. I am working on the 'CoastRes: Coastal resilience in the face of sea-level rise' project (NERC NE/S016651/1). I led UCL's contribution to the NERC-funded 'Integrated Coastal Sediment Systems' (iCOASST project; NERC NE/J005487/1)) and was UCL Lead on the UK Lake Ecological Observatory Network) (NERC NE/I007520/1). Recently completed projects include the
NERC 'Risks of Coastal Flooding to Port Systems' (NERC NE/M008150/1)
project; a regional analysis of the Suffolk shoreface and sediment
system for Crown Estate; ‘SC060074 Large-scale coastal geomorphological behaviour’ (2007-2009) funded by EA; and ‘FD2117 Development and Demonstration of Systems-Based Estuary Simulators’ (ESTSIM; 2004-2007), funded by DEFRA.
