Testing EWN® alternatives is difficult because of the large range of spatio-temporal scales involved. Theproject will develop a high-resolution, multiscale numerical simulation platform based on the FUNWAVETVD model f...

Coastal dune vegetation is known to modify dune ecosystem response to wind, waves, and storms, but little focus has been given to understanding how vegetation, specifically belowground structures can enhance dune stab...

Traditional approaches to reducing the risk of coastal and riverine floods include the construction of conventional infrastructure (CI) such as levees and floodwalls. Over the last decade, there has been a push toward...

Critical to saltmarsh restoration is understanding the physical and ecological drivers ofdegradation and fragmentation in saltmarsh ecosystems. Physical and ecologicalprocesses of a broad range of spatiotemporal scale...

Natural infrastructure (NI) uses natural processes to support traditional objectives of built infrastructure such as storm water management and securing water supplies for human use. This project aims to accelerate th...

There is increasing recognition of the value of biodiversity in maintaining the services essential fora sustainable society and the flows that drive economic activity. However, we run a risk in valuingbiodiversity sol...
