Coastal system monitoring, modelling and analysis

A sound understanding of the natural coastal system and the processes involved is a precondition for Integrated Coastal Zone Management and Development. Through our ongoing research and consultancy we have gained specialised knowledge and expertise on the following topics:

• Hydrodynamics and waves
• Coastal erosion management
• Estuarine sediment and mud management
• Ecosystem based management and wetland management
• Bio-geomorphology
• Water quality and ecology
• Geo sub-surface resources management
