Project IC15_NZ - Modelling sediment exchange around ebb-tide deltas
Ebb-Tide Deltas (ETDs) are complex, highly dynamic, morphologic components of the coastline. ETDs serve an active role in the littoral system by providing a mechanism for sediment to bypass tidal inlets. Also, ETDs dissipate wave energy offshore from inlets and redirect waves onto nearby beaches.

My current research works towards understanding the control of storm events on ebb-tidal deltas (ETDs). ETDs are a characteristic of the entrances to many estuaries and pose a navigation hazard to people entering and leaving harbours. The natural dynamics of ETDs provide a large scale example of a self-organised coherent structure common in many natural systems.
As a Coastal Scientist over the past 7 years, I had the opportunity to work on a wide range variety of coastal projects throughout the world. On most projects I served a significant role. I have experience gathering and analysing data, developing and tuning numerical models to accurately represent observed phenomena, and developing new software tools for both in-house and commercial use. I had the opportunity to develop hydrodynamic models of Raglan Harbour for research purposes. Many interests were investigated using these models including tidal circulation, river inflows, wave action on the ebb-tidal delta, effluent release impacts, and more.
Field work experiences include calibrating, deploying, retrieving and accessing recorded data for many types of instrumentation. These include pressure sensors, salinity and temperature gauges, sediment grain-size analysers, turbidity sensors, sediment traps, a cone bottom-penetrometer, RTK-GPS, Cam-Era photogrammetry system, and the old fashioned meter-stick. I am well experienced at piloting boats in still and rough coastal waters. I can SCUBA dive. I have conducted multiple bathymetric surveys of harbour channels, inlets, and deltas. Also I have participated in studies where we deployed current meters, pressure sensors to measure waves in high-energy coastal locations, and setup cameras to monitor the shifting sandbars at an ebb-tidal delta.
Sharing knowledge and my passion for coastal systems, I have participated in discussions with interested communities, stake holders, and fellow researchers. I am a community-minded person. The ability to clearly communicate information and ideas in a simple manner is a goal towards which I continually strive.
