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:
