Syed Shamsil Arefin is a Researcher in the School of Environmental Sciences at the University of East Anglia. He holds a PhD from UEA, focusing on large-scale coastal ecosystem restoration and its protective benefits. He is affiliated with the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research, Centre for Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences, and Geosciences.
Education: M.Sc in Coastal Engineering (Delft University of Technology and University of Southampton, 2017) and B.Sc in Civil Engineering (Ahsanullah University of Science and Technology, 2012).
His research investigates how coastal wetlands like mangroves and marshes reduce wave and surge impacts, particularly in hybrid systems combining natural ecosystems with artificial defenses. His work aims to model protective benefits for scalable climate adaptation assessments globally.
Current projects include REST-COAST, a European initiative evaluating wetland restoration's role in disaster risk reduction and biodiversity enhancement. No specific grants or awards are listed, but his research emphasizes low-carbon climate adaptation solutions.
He collaborates with interdisciplinary teams in coastal engineering and environmental science, contributing to both theoretical and applied aspects of coastal resilience.
