Funded Activity Summary
Coastal Engineering Research Field Station (CERFS). This project aims to establish a Coastal Engineering Research Field Station (CERFS) with instrument modules for measuring waves, tides, currents, seabed and beach profiles and sediment characteristics. There are critical knowledge gaps in the understanding of coastal processes, including the effects of climate variability and change, and a need to generate long-term data-sets for calibration of coastal models against Australian conditions. The coastal process data obtained will lead to improved models, management strategies and design guidelines improving techniques to address coastal infrastructure design, beach management strategies and impact assessment to meet the challenges of future major coastal development. This will help decision-makers to reduce the risk to coastal communities, coastal ecosystems and maritime operations from extreme storms, climate change, infrastructure development and urbanisation.Funded Activity Details
