Funded Activity Summary

Wave-by-wave bed-level changes at the beachface of gravel and sand beaches. Australia's coastline is one of this country's greatest natural, cultural and economic resources. Recent experiences internationally have shown that in a changing climate, coastal erosion is a real and growing threat to the present-day sustainability of our coasts. Innovative instrumentation developed by our team now enables fundamental erosion and accretion processes to be quantified for the first time. Working within the framework of two collaborative, fully-integrated, international research programs commencing in 2007 and 2008, this study will place Australia at the forefront of break-through coastal research, leading to rapid advances in the scientific, engineering and operational understanding and modelling of coastal change.
