The sustainable management of urban environments in coastal areas is the focus of the Centre's research. The Centre's researchers are uniquely qualified with expertise in areas such as
- impacts of climate change and climate variability on coastlines
- coastal hydrodynamics and sedimentary processes
- numerical modelling of coastal hydrology and hydrodynamics
- wave climate forecasting
- video imaging and analysis of coastal processes
- coastal engineering design and technology
- flood plain modelling and management
- urban catchment management
- integrated water resource management and effluent disposal and dispersal in estuarine and coastal waters.
Our major projects are grouped under five strategic research programs:
- Estuarine Modelling
- Coastlines
- Climate Change Impact and Adaptation
- Infrastructure and Technology
- Urban Catchments and Waterways
- Water Future
