Portrait

Robert Nicholls has studied coastal processes and coastal hazards for the last 25 years. In particular, he has an international reputation concerning climate change in coastal areas, especially the potential impacts and the possible responses. His research has involved studies across a range of scales from local (e.g., small towns) to the global. A distinctive dimension has been consideration of the coastal zone as a series of interacting systems which facilitates policy analysis. He has advised national governments (e.g., UK) and intergovernmental organisations (e.g., OECD) on climate change and coastal issues, including contributing as lead author to four reports of the Intergovernmental Panel for Climate Change assessment process. Currently, he is contributing to the following active projects:
(1) DINAS-COAST, an EU-funded project which is developing a global-scale integrated assessment model of the impacts of sea-level rise;
(2) ATLANTIS, an EU-funded project which is examining the implications of extreme high-end scenarios of sea-level rise for the 21st Century;
(3) Three inter-related projects on East Anglia funded by the Tyndall Centre concerning geomorphic change, coastal erosion, and coastal flood risk under climate change;
(4) RegIS-2, a UK Government-funded project developing an integrated assessment modelling for climate change at the scale of English regions.
