The focus of research in this theme is to engineer viable and sustainable solutions in the fields of water treatment and supply, costal erosion, pluvial flooding, CO2 capture, non-conventional energy production and storage.
Our research covers both fresh and salt water; is aimed at improving scientific understanding and developing effective engineering solutions to real-world problems. We work with industry and academic funders on a wide range of topics that includes: water treatment; water supply; catchment management; pluvial and coastal flooding; coastal erosion and marine renewable energy sources.
We use computational modelling, have state-of-the-art laboratories, (CWATER and Coastal Laboratories), and have an extensive range of measurement equipment for coastal and marine field campaigns.
