Our research strengths include coastal geomorphology focusing on the morphodynamic relationships between waves, currents and sediment transport in the near-shore zone (Brander), the hyperspectral remote sensing of both near-shore bathymetry and coral reef ecosystems (Merton), the ecology and evolution of marine plant-herbivore interactions (Poore, Steinberg), chemical ecology and prokaryote/eukaryote interactions (Steinberg), the ecology and conservation of larval fish and estuaries (Suthers), wetland ecology (Adam) and cetacean behavior and conservation genetics (Sherwin).

 

There are strong links between the marine group in BEES,  the physical oceanography group in the School of Mathematics and the Centre for Marine Biofouling and Bioinnovation (CMBB).
