معرفی
Dr Chris Blenkinsopp is a Senior Lecturer in Civil Engineering Hydraulics within the Department of Architecture & Civil Engineering at the University of Bath, where he is affiliated with the Water Innovation and Research Centre (WIRC), Centre for Climate Adaptation & Environment Research (CAER), and the Institute of Sustainability and Climate Change.
His research interests focus on Water Engineering, particularly coastal processes, remote sensing, ocean waves, sediment transport, and hydrodynamics in the surf and swash zone. Dr Blenkinsopp has extensive expertise in field and laboratory measurements of coastal processes, having participated in major international projects including the ECORS project in France and the EU-funded BARDEX projects at the Delta Flume in the Netherlands.
His recent publications demonstrate expertise in bore capture dynamics, beach morphology change, coastal protection structures, and wave-structure interaction. His research employs advanced technologies including LiDAR for coastal hydrodynamics measurement and storm erosion analysis.
Dr Blenkinsopp currently leads an Australian Research Council Discovery Project examining bed shear stress under run-up flows and is involved in multiple research initiatives including 'Participatory collaborative research to enhance climate change adaptation' (2025-2028) and 'Sustainable, nature-inspired coastal protection for a changing climate' (2024-2026).
- Sustainable, nature-inspired coastal protection for a changing climate (2024-2026)
- Dynamic Revetments: Nature's template for sustainable coastal protection (2020-2021)
- RESIN: Resilient Integrated-Coupled Wind and Wave Platform Design Methodology (2017-2021)
- Waves in Shallow Water (2016-2017)
He is actively accepting doctoral students interested in remote sensing of coastal processes, coastal hydrodynamics, sediment transport, and wave breaking. His work contributes significantly to climate adaptation and sustainable coastal management research.
