Visiting Senior Researcher

Ms Susan Hanson is Visiting Senior Reseacher within?Engineering and Physical Sciences at the University of BOB体育登录网址_欧宝体育官网平台-APP|下载.

Susan is a member of the BOB体育登录网址_欧宝体育官网平台-APP|下载 Marine and Maritime Institute (SMMI) and has also been a member of the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research . ??Prior to this she was based in the Flood Hazard Research Centre , at Middlesex University.

Her research has coverd a range of climate related topics but her main area of interest is coastal adaptation to change.Recent topics have covered:

Coastal implications of climate change: impacts (physical and economic), vulnerability and adaptive and management responses;
The development of sea-level scenarios for adaptation planning;
Coastal systems anaylsis: physical and societal aspects;
Large-scale coastal morphological behaviour, including flooding and erosion.

Susan is currently working as part of the DECCMA (DEltas, vulnerability & Climate Change: Migration & Adaptation) project which is analysing the impacts of climate change and other environmental drivers across contrasting deltas in Africa and Asia.

Previous projects include:

EPSRC ‘ Shipping in Changing Climates ' project
exposure estimates for large port cities to climate extremes carried out with the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD)
Department of Energy and Climate Change's AVOID programme
the global DIVA (Dynamic Interactive Vulnerability Assessment) database
EC funded THESEUS project which is looking at integrated coastal zone management with an emphasis on coastal risk assessment and mitigatio;
the costs of adaptation to sea-level rise for the World and Asian Development Banks
INTERREG IIIB funded project BRANCH (Biodiversity Requires Adaptation in Northwest Europe under a Changing climate), which investigated the impacts of sea-level rise on designated habitats on the South coast of the UK;
The Tyndall Coastal Simulator.
CIRCE (Climate change and Impact Research: the Mediterranean Environment) looking at the impacts of sea-level rise;
PESETA (Projection of Economic impacts of climate change in Sectors of the European Union based on boTtom-up Analysis) projects;
