The research group focuses on coastal resilience in the face of climate change-induced challenges, particularly rising sea levels and frequent storm events. They advocate for integrating nature-based solutions with traditional engineering approaches to safeguard vulnerable coastal regions. Their primary area of interest lies in the utilization of coastal dune systems as a cost-effective and environmentally beneficial defense strategy.
