PhD Project Title
What is the real coastal erosion risk in the UK in the 21st Century? Using novel methods to better estimate exposure in a changing climate.
Research Interests
Coastal erosion, coastal policy, data modelling, machine learning.
PhD Project
The project will integrate climate geomorphology, machine learning and geographic information technology to model and predict coastal erosion at various spatial and temporal scales. It aims to provide new, critical assessments and recommendations for current science and management policies supporting coastal erosion.
