#17 Prof Colin Woodroffe - Understanding coasts; beaches, mangroves and sea level change.

I'd love feedback and messages of support - please send an sms here.Professor Colin Woodroffe is a coastal geomorphologist currently at the University of Wollongong. He has an international research focus on the morphology, stratigraphy and sedimentary dynamics of tropical and subtropical coasts, and the application of Geographical Information Systems (GIS) to the study of processes and change in the coastal zone.Some of Colin's research includes 2017 - Integrating millennial and interdecadal shoreline changes: Morpho-sedimentary investigation of two prograded barriers in southeastern Australia 2017 - Geology and sedimentary history of modern estuaries | 2016 - Mangrove sedimentation and response to relative sea-level rise In this episode we chat about sea level rise, storm activity and the coastal processes interacting with wetlands, beaches and estuaries. Importantly we discuss the multitude of factors that influence the form of our coastal landscape in order to highlight that solutions are not always simple cost effective.LinksUnderstanding Coastal Erosion on BeachesUniversity of WollongongThe Coast of Australia by Short & WoodroffeSupport the show
