Embayment dynamics
Historical and modern impacts of wind, tides, sea level changes and coastal development on sediment dynamics and substrate formation are analysed to inform management.
Project leads: Remo Cossu, Peter Nielsen
Wave and tidal energy
Multidisciplinary research program to map Australia’s tidal and wave energy resource, assess its economic feasibility and improve infrastructure design.
Project leads: Remo Cossu,Tom Baldock
Sea-level rise and coral mortality
We use physical and numerical modelling to determine the impacts of climate change on reef hydrodynamics and shoreline erosion of reef-fringed beaches.
Project leads: Tom Baldock, Dave Callaghan, Daniel Harris
Coral reef restoration
We are leading coral reef restoration projects to stabilise coral rubble to enhance the rate of coral recruitment and recovery.
Project leads: Tom Baldock, Dave Callaghan, Peter Mumby
Morphodynamics under changing sea levels
We are tracking the evolution of coral reefs and beach systems during changes in sea level and wave conditions to provide insights into future responses to sea level rise.
Project lead: Daniel Harris
