Coastal Processes, Geomorphology and Erosion
Researcher: Dr Norm Catto
The coastline of Newfoundland responds to changes in weather, storm activity, sea ice extent, sea level change, and human modification. Focus areas of study include:
- changes in relative sea level
- rates and processes of coastal erosion
- impacts on infrastructure and communities
- sensitivity of beaches to petroleum contamination
- sedimentology and coastal dynamics
