Research Interests


My research interests comprise all aspects of marine climate and marine climate change. I am curious, in particular, about wind storms, storm surges, ocean waves, or regional mean sea levels and how they vary and change in the past and the future. I am also interested in their impacts on, for example, the coast, how society may adapt to changes, and bringing knowledge into application.
