Australia's coastline is one of this country's greatest natural, economic and cultural resources. The asset value of existing beach-front infrastructure is immeasurable. Climate change is driving sea-level rise and changing regional wave climates, resulting in coastal erosion and increasing the threat to coastal sustainability. This research launches a strategic university-industry-government alliance to address the considerable and growing pressure for solutions to observe and forecast accelerating shoreline erosion. The new knowledge, greater cross-sector collaboration and international linkages to be fast-tracked by this project will inform and build the capacity of Australia's coastal managers to confront the challenges of a changing climate.

澳大利亚的海岸线是该国最伟大的自然、经济和文化资源之一。现有海滨基础设施的资产价值是不可估量的。气候变化正在推动海平面上升和改变区域海浪气候，导致海岸侵蚀，并增加对海岸可持续性的威胁。这项研究发起了一个战略性的大学-行业-政府联盟，以应对在观察和预测加速的海岸线侵蚀方面对解决方案的巨大和日益增长的压力。该项目将快速提供新的知识、更多的跨部门合作和国际联系，这将使澳大利亚沿海管理人员了解和建设应对气候变化挑战的能力。
