William Bennett

Dr William Bennett is a Lecturer in Civil Engineering at Swansea University's Faculty of Science and Engineering. His research focuses on coastal engineering through advanced computational modeling, particularly examining climate change impacts on coastal flooding and erosion.

• Specializes in coastal hydrodynamics and morphodynamics
• Develops nature-based coastal protection strategies
• Active in flood risk management and climate adaptation

Recent publications demonstrate expertise in salt marsh impacts on estuarine systems, compound flooding analysis, and wave-climate modeling. Collaborations span:

• Department of Civil Engineering colleagues
• Biosciences researchers (Dr John Griffin, Dr Chiara Bertelli)
• External partners (Natural Resources Wales, Environment Agency)

Teaches modules covering:

• Engineering design fundamentals
• Coastal management practices
• Hydrodynamic modeling techniques
