WP1 - TRAINING IN HIGH-RESOLUTION GEOPHYSICAL SURVEYING AND PROCESSING
- Develop skills in high-resolution geophysical instrumentation and analysis following a training-through-research approach, which will provide an updated technical framework for WP2.
Public Deliverables: D 1.1 (to be included)
WP2 - HIGH-RESOLUTION GEOPHYSICAL SITE CHARACTERIZATION AND MONITORING
- Perform dedicated geophysical data collection campaigns in a range of locations along the KwaZulu-Natal coast, followed by high-resolution morphological monitoring during the austral maritime winter.
Public Deliverables: D 2.1 (to be included)
WP3 - EVENT-BASED HYDRODYNAMIC DEPLOYMENTS
- Perform event-based deployments for characterization of hydrodynamic forcing during energetic events, concurrent with the period of morphological monitoring (WP2).
Public Deliverables: D 3.1 & D 3.2 (to be included)
WP4 - FIELD DATA ANALYSIS AND INTEGRATION
- Develop process-response relationships between forcing and morphological response based on the analysis and integration of datasets collected in WP2 and WP3.
Public Deliverables: D 4.1 (to be included)
WP5 - HPC NUMERICAL MODELLING IMPLEMENTATION
- Implement the state-of-the-art models SWAN and XBeach in a High-Performance Computing cluster in order to perform high-resolution simulations of nearshore hydro and morphodynamics for real world settings and based on realistic scenarios from moderate to extreme storm conditions.
Public Deliverables: D 5.1 (to be included)
WP6 - OUTREACH ACTIVITIES AND SOCIETAL KNOWLEDGE TRANSFERENCE
- Develop a public outreach and science communication strategy for disseminate coastal knowledge and promote environmental education, alongside specialist outreach activities aimed at coastal authorities and stakeholders.
Public Deliverables: D 6.1 and D 6.2 (to be included)
WP7 - SCIENTIFIC DISSEMINATION AND ACADEMIC KNOWLEDGE TRANSFERENCE
- Implement an integrated strategy for scientific dissemination including conference presentations, specialist publications, open data dissemination, and post-graduate training.
Public Deliverables: D 7.1, D 7.2 and D 7.3 (to be included)
