Professor Temitope Oyedotun is keen to hear from students interested in progressing to a PhD or MSc research related to:

–       coastal systems

–       coastal dynamics and forcing of coastal change

–       environmental change, environmental behaviour and/or environmental forcing

–       complex interactions between geomorphology, hydrology and ecology in the coastal zone

–       geospatial and near-sensing (e.g. UAS, dGPS) technologies

–       environmental system modelling

–       coastal geohazards and risk to infrastructure

–       climate change adaptation

–       resilience modelling

–       physical response of lakes and fluvial to climate variability and change; and waste management

–       community initiatives (citizen science) for monitoring coastal change and informing coastal management

–       Investigation of the morphosedimentary development of the coastal wetlands and estuarine environment

–       Mangroves and mangroves environment

–       Integration of Earth Observation (EO) and Machine Learning/Artificial Intelligence in: coastal dynamics monitoring, coastal communities’ resilience to climate change, coastal flooding and the prediction of its risks; and the response of coastal agroecological zones to climate variabilities, etc.

–       Waste management and microplastic pollution, among others.
