Mission

Our mission is to undertake research of international excellence in the field of coastal dynamics and engineering by providing a focus for fundamental and applied research, research training, and technical service support for coastal agencies and industries.

Within the Coastal Engineering Research Group we carry out both fundamental and applied research. Members of the Group are leaders in their respective fields and are engaged extensively in EPSRC, NERC and European research programmes, as well as projects funded by UK Government Departments and Agencies.

The Group's activities include:

  • Conducting research on an experimental computational and theoretical basis into all aspects of coastal processes and engineering and verifying the findings of this research with field data
  • Running seminars on a regular basis, with invited speakers from industry and academia in the UK and overseas, as well as researchers within the Group
  • Conducting multidisciplinary  research between members of the Group
  • Promoting and maintaining regular dialogue with industry partners
