Coastal Geophysics

Coastal geophysics is the study of the physical processes and structures in coastal areas where land meets the ocean. It involves using techniques like seismic surveys, ground-penetrating radar, and satellite imagery to understand how waves, tides, and currents shape coastlines. This field helps scientists analyze erosion, sediment transport, and underwater features, providing insights into coastal ecosystems and influencing coastal management. By understanding these dynamics, we can better predict changes in the environment and protect coastal communities from hazards like flooding and storms.
