iCOAST - Integrated coastal sediment systems

Staff

Lead researchers

Professor Robert Nicholls

Professor in Coastal Engineering
Research interests
  • long-term coastal engineering and management
  • the issues of coastal impacts and adaptation to climate change, with an emphasis on sea-level rise
  • the assessment of the future of deltaic areas, which are the most threatened coastal setting in the coming century
