HOW TO APPLY

My current research aims to assess the impacts of sea level rise, tectonic activity, and sediment delivery on New Zealand's estuaries. The project will integrate new data on relative sea level change and estuary sediment transport to classify these ecosystems based on their vulnerability to relative sea level rise. It will also consider past observable morphological changes to predict alterations to morphodynamic processes at selected sites. To achieve this, I will employ a range of methods, including analysis of geospatial data, field investigations, and numerical modelling. This research is expected to yield new insights into how estuaries in tectonically active regions will respond to sea level rise, thereby informing future management strategies for these important coastal environments.
