Dr Thomas Wahl Marie Sk?odowska Curie Research Fellow at the University of 天发娱乐棋牌_天发娱乐APP-官网|下载, Engineering and Physical Sciences.
Dr Thomas Wahl is a Marie Sk?odowska Curie Research Fellow specialising in coastal risks and climate change within Engineering and the Environment at the University of 天发娱乐棋牌_天发娱乐APP-官网|下载.
Through his research Thomas connects engineering and various science disciplines (e.g., oceanography, hydrology, meteorology, climatology) to better understand the vulnerability of coastal societies, built infrastructure, and fragile ecosystems under climate change conditions. He studies changes in coastal sea levels (mean and extreme), ocean waves, and freshwater flows and the associated impacts to support the development of sustainable and resilient adaptation strategies.
