Australia's coastline is one of this country's greatest natural, cultural and economic resources. Recent experiences internationally have shown that in a changing climate, coastal erosion is a real and growing threat to the present-day sustainability of our coasts. Innovative instrumentation developed by our team now enables fundamental erosion and accretion processes to be quantified for the first time. Working within the framework of two collaborative, fully-integrated, international research programs commencing in 2007 and 2008, this study will place Australia at the forefront of break-through coastal research, leading to rapid advances in the scientific, engineering and operational understanding and modelling of coastal change.

澳大利亚的海岸线是该国最丰富的自然、文化和经济资源之一。国际上最近的经验表明，在气候变化的情况下，海岸侵蚀对当今海岸的可持续性构成了真正的、日益严重的威胁。我们团队开发的创新仪器现在首次能够量化基本的侵蚀和增生过程。这项研究在 2007 年和 2008 年开始的两个合作、全面综合的国际研究计划的框架内开展工作，将使澳大利亚处于突破性海岸研究的最前沿，从而导致对海岸变化的科学、工程和操作理解和建模方面的快速进步。
