COASTALRES
Coastal Resilience in the face of Sea Level Rise
Project Description
CoastalRes was a project funded by the UK Strategic Priorities Fund Climate Resilience Programme from February 2019 to January 2020. The overarching aim was to explore the changing nature of coastal and estuarine erosion and flood risk and to consider how adaptation pathways could be informed by a resilience-based framework for the selection of appropriate policy options. This work is framed by the current Shoreline Management Planning (SMP) framework for England and Wales, as well as by the findings of the UK Committee on Climate Change (Committee on Climate Change, 2018) that current policies at the coast take insufficient account of the inevitability of future change and its consequences for both national government and local communities.

Personal Role
Lead the development of the coastal resilience model.
Key tasks include:
- Sourcing, preparing and analysing data to prepare graphics, metrics and reports
- Manipulate and create new data to derive a set of resilience measures which reflect resilience within the prototype model
- Scale-up case study examples to the national level (England)
