Port Stephens Flood Tide Delta: Shoreline Management Issues

该项目的成果将大大有助于了解潮汐三角洲的地貌动力学，特别是那些暴露在整个澳大利亚东部和南部最典型的海浪中的三角洲。该项目产生的模型将用于测试斯蒂芬斯港问题的解决方案，更广泛地说，测试澳大利亚其他地方类似系统的解决方案。该模型将能够评估三角洲和海岸线对气候变化、不断变化的波浪气候和恢复活力的沉积物预算的反应，从而解决国家研究优先事项--应对气候变化和多变性。该项目将为一名APDI和两名APAI提供一系列技能培训。

The results of this project will contribute substantially to the knowledge of flood tide delta morphodynamics and specifically to those deltas exposed to ocean waves which are most typical throughout eastern and southern Australia. The model generated by the project will be used to test solutions to the problems in Port Stephens and more generally to similar systems elsewhere in Australia. The model will permit the assessment of the responses of the deltas and shoreline to climate change, changing wave climate and reinvigorated sediment budgets, thereby addressing National Research priority-Responding to climate change and variability. The project will is provide training for one APDI and two APAIs in a range of skills.
