- Research Interests
My main interests are mostly concerned with environmental system modelling. Some areas of particular interest include: hydrodynamics of coastal, estuarine and lake systems; impacts of climate change at the coast; climate change adaptation; flood risk; resilience of coupled natural, socio-economic and infrastructure systems; and the role of modelling in earth and environmental science and policy making.
