Multi-scale ensemble modelling of coastal systems in a changing climate. This project aims to incorporate sandy shoreline adaptation by developing a time-varying framework for model ensemble averaging. This will significantly advance our ability to predict shoreline change over a range of management timescales from days to decades along high-value coastlines.

This project aims to incorporate sandy shoreline adaptation by developing a time-varying framework for model ensemble averaging. This will significantly advance our ability to predict shoreline change over a range of management timescales from days to decades along high-value coastlines. This project expects to generate new knowledge in Coastal Engineering using new methods to train models and deliver unprecedented new shoreline data. The expected outcomes are enhanced capacity to predict shoreline change over a range of timescales and a better understanding of how sandy coastlines adapt to future climate variability. This should provide significant benefits by enabling a better assessment of coastal hazards along our high-value coastline.Read moreRead less
Advanced hydrodynamics for next generation of offshore infrastructure. This project aims to develop rigorous and precise prediction models for next generation offshore infrastructure, by capturing nonlinear wave-structure interaction. This project expects to generate new knowledge in offshore hydrodynamics (a branch of fluid mechanics) applicable to Ocean Engineering, using cutting-edge numerical technology, state-of-the-art physical modelling, and unique full-scale field data. The expected outc ....Advanced hydrodynamics for next generation of offshore infrastructure. This project aims to develop rigorous and precise prediction models for next generation offshore infrastructure, by capturing nonlinear wave-structure interaction. This project expects to generate new knowledge in offshore hydrodynamics (a branch of fluid mechanics) applicable to Ocean Engineering, using cutting-edge numerical technology, state-of-the-art physical modelling, and unique full-scale field data. The expected outcomes include enhanced capacity to estimate hydrodynamic response and advanced design tools for floating wind, floating solar and offshore aquaculture. This will provide significant benefit by enabling cost-efficient and viable designs, thereby accelerating the development of offshore renewable energy.Read moreRead less
