Coastal flooding hazard will be increasing over the next century driven by unavoidable sea level rise and other climate change impacts. Understanding the relationships between people and nature is a key component of sustainable management and climate adaptation. This project will gain new insight into the relationship between coastal communities and coastal adaptation by addressing the questions around risk perceptions within and across communities, comparison to state-of-the-art coastal numerical modelling, and implications for adaptive capacity and community engagement. This PhD is being advertised as part of the Centre for Doctoral Training for Resilient Flood Futures (FLOOD-CDT).
