Coastal erosion is confronting societies and the natural environment. The economic value in Australia of built assets at risk includes roads ($60 billion), commercial buildings ($81 billion) and homes ($63 billion). Hard engineering entire coastlines is rarely feasible, with beaches providing the best coastal defence along the great majority of sandy coastlines. But how wide should a buffer zone be to provide adequate protection from storms? And critically, how reliable are the present modelling tools used to predict this, and can they be improved? Underpinned by innovative field observations to fill fundamental knowledge gaps, this project aims to deliver advanced understanding and the best available solution to storm erosion prediction.

沿海侵蚀正在面对社会和自然环境。澳大利亚的经济价值包括有风险的建筑资产，包括道路（600亿美元），商业建筑（81亿美元）和房屋（630亿美元）。艰苦的工程整个海岸线很少可行，海滩在绝大多数桑迪海岸线上提供了最好的沿海防御。但是，缓冲区应在多大的范围内提供足够的保护侵害风暴呢？至关重要的是，当前的建模工具用于预测这一点，并可以改善它们的可靠性？该项目以创新的现场观察为基础，以填补基本知识差距，旨在提供先进的理解和最佳的风暴侵蚀预测解决方案。
