Research interests Research interests are in coastal physical oceanography and coastal sediment transport, with emphasis on field experiments and numerical modelling; in particular, the circulation and mixing processes on the continental shelf, coastal and estuarine regions of Western Australia and Sri Lanka; sea level variability; dynamics of island wakes and headland eddies; remote-sensing applications; effluent dispersion from outfalls; estuarine circulation and dynamics; nearshore processes and sediment transport; effects of climate change in the coastal ocean. I have played an active role in examining climate change effects in coastal

4 4 regions of Western Australia and particularly in terms ocean currents, wind and wave climate, sea level variability, coastal flooding, beach stability and coral reefs.
