Scholarship Nearshore wave climate and future wave climate change risk for the New South Wales coast

'Nearshore wave climate and future wave climate change risk for the New South
Wales coast'

Climate change is driving sea-level rise and changing regional wave climates,
resulting in coastal erosion and increasing threat to coastal sustainability.
You will be part of an international team lead by A/Prof Ian Turner (UNSW) and
A/Prof Ian Goodwin (Macquarie University) in a strategic
university-industry-government alliance to develop the Australian Coastal
Observation Network: monitoring and forecasting coastal erosion in a changing
climate. You will be involved in the Deployment of inshore wave monitoring
instrumentation at two high-profile coastal management 'hot spots' to
rigorously and independently evaluate the performance of a new, proprietary
video-based methodology developed by Coastal Coms CCOMS, to quantify the local
wave parameters of breaking wave height, wave period and wave direction, for
extension of this capability to all 130+ (and growing) CCOMS cameras sites.
