MSc ECE student Maria Ines de Carli reports on the Coastal Seminar by Ms Hana Al-Rashed: SST along Kuwait’s coast

On Tuesday February 26th, PhD student Hana Al-Rashed gave a special coastal seminar on the first objective of her thesis titled “Three decades of urban coastal water SSTs along Kuwait’s south eastern coast”. In the context of global warming, Sea Surface Temperatures (SSTs), coastal areas have shown a rising trend ten times faster than the… Read More MSc ECE student Maria Ines de Carli reports on the Coastal Seminar by Ms Hana Al-Rashed: SST along Kuwait’s coast

Tomographic investigation of turbulence and sediment dynamics

Understanding sediment transport has come a long way since the pioneering works of Shields and Bagnold, nearly a century ago. Yet, the complex mechanisms that drive, at larger scales, the morphological evolution of coastal and estuarine environments remain poorly understood at the ‘noisy’ end of the spectrum. Fundamentally, this is a problem of fluid sediment interaction,… Read More Tomographic investigation of turbulence and sediment dynamics

Visit to the Maldives part of study into impacts of climate change and subsequent sea-level rise

Co-director of the ECE MSC Prof Robert Nicholls and researcher Dr Sally Brown are visiting the Maldives this week as part of two European Commission funded projects, IMPACT2C and RISES-AM. Both projects analyse the impacts of climate change and subsequent sea-level rise, focusing on a number of case studies, of which the Maldives is a part.… Read More Visit to the Maldives part of study into impacts of climate change and subsequent sea-level rise

Coastal team studying turbulence and sediment dynamics are first to use the Fast Flow Facility at HR Wallingford

Members of the G&G group (coastal processes research theme) have recently had the privilege to be the first external users of the new HR Wallingford Fast Flow Facility (FFF). The FFF is a unique facility that allows studying wave-current-sediment interactions at a large scale. This collaboration came to support the work undertaken by postgraduate researcher Hachem… Read More Coastal team studying turbulence and sediment dynamics are first to use the Fast Flow Facility at HR Wallingford

Fieldwork at the Steart managed realignment scheme, Somerset, 5-11 September 2014

In order to monitor the early effects of tidal inundation on the morphology and sedimentology of an artificial creek system, fieldwork was undertaken between the 5th and the 11th of September at the Steart peninsula. Participants to this fieldwork were new G&G postgraduate student Clementine Chirol, responsible for the PhD project on the morphological evolution… Read More Fieldwork at the Steart managed realignment scheme, Somerset, 5-11 September 2014
