Focusing on three ‘at-risk’ UK geographic areas (in England and Scotland), the candidate will investigate the hazard associated with waste and pollution release under more severe flooding and coastal erosion scenarios and assess the vulnerability of coastal environments and adjacent communities, while ensuring the project’s approach, methods and key findings for coastal resilience measures can be scaled across the UK.
Through this work, the candidate will make a leading contribution to the £2.9M ‘Resilience of Anthropocene Coasts and Communities (RACC)’ project, which addresses the interlinked risks of climate change, coastal flooding/erosion, and the UK’s historic waste legacy on coastal community and ecosystem resilience. RACC is part funded by UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) and UK Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (DEFRA), one of four interdisciplinary projects under their Resilient Coastal Communities and Seas programme and is part of a £14.8M investment in place-based research projects aiming to enhance resilience, wellbeing and sustainability across the UK. The project is overarched by a Coastal Network+. This project will thus provide an excellent opportunity for the successful candidate to develop an extensive research and practitioner network through their role in this RACC project.
