Synopsis
The UNSW Beach Safety Research Group is based in the School of BEES, but has members across most faculties at UNSW and deals with a range of multi-disciplinary projects involving beach and coastal hazards and safety. The UNSW BSRG is well-funded and we work with organisations such as Surf Life Saving Australia, the National Parks and Wildlife Service and many local councils. If you would like to know more about specific topics related to beach safety please contact Professor Rob Brander at rbrander@unsw.edu or look at
Aims
These types of projects all aim to gain a better understanding of the relationships between physical coastal hazards and coastal users with the goal of improving future safety and educational intervention in order to save lives.
Students benefits
Students will gain experience collecting and analysing data using a variety of methods and will work with various industry partners to provide outcomes with significant real-world benefits and outcomes. There’s also likely some beach time involved!
