Flood research award
The project, in collaboration with the University of Plymouth, Liverpool University and the Proudman Oceanographic Laboratory, will explore how sediment arrives and is removed from our coastline, and how that information can be used to predict flooding events.
The research has been awarded a £673,000 grant by the Natural Environment Research Council's Flood Risk for Extreme Events (FREE) programme.
Dr Nigel Richardson, head of department, says: "This is a hugely important project and we are very proud to be involved. It will put the North West coastline back on the map in terms of coastal research."
The project is due to be completed in Spring 2010.
