In September the 12th International Workshop was hosted at the US Army Corps of Engineers Field Research Facility (FRF, http://www.frf.usace.army.mil/) in Duck, North Carolina, USA. An amazing venue, that holds special to Argus hearts as this marked 30 years of cameras at the Duck tower. The workshops occur every 18 -24 months and has previously been […]
PhD Project in Coastal Landscape Susceptibility to Environmental Change Coastal landform systems are highly dynamic and respond to several physical drivers which span a range of time-scales. These include the response to individual storms through to that from decadal to centennial variations of sea level. The final form of coastal landforms is a combination of […]
The position An opportunity exists for a highly motivated student to join the research team at the Dept of Environmental Sciences, Macquarie University to work on the Coastal Sedimentological and Geomorphological Response of the Australian Coast to Rapid Sea-Level Rise During the Late Quaternary. The research will contribute to an ARC funded Discovery Project (Ice […]
Shari is an Early Career Researcher coastal morphologist and oceanographer. She has worked on coasts in New Zealand, Australia, and the UK. Her research is focused largely on understanding interactions between coastal geology and structures, with met-ocean forcing, and sediment transport. She is particularly interested in physical processes on coasts with reefs, and also of rip […]
Ana is a marine scientist whose speciality is linking scales in coastal geomorphology. She looks at sediment transport and coastal change at different scales: immediate, event, decadal and Holocene. Her career started in Spain, then moved to Portugal in 1998 and came to Australia in 2005. She has worked on ocean and estuarine beaches, tidal inlet […]
Sarah has worked on tropical coastlines for the last 15 years. She has been lucky enough to work in some varied locations, including Aldabra Atoll (Seychelles), Cocos (Keeling) Atoll, the Great Barrier Reef, Fiji, Belize and the Red Sea. Currently based at the University of Wollongong as a Senior Lecturer in GIS, Sarah enjoys building […]
This article was passed on to me today and I thought it worthwhile to pass on to the group. Trailing spouses exist on both sides of the gender fence, and as a young mom, I can definitely attest that my career has more sacrifices in it than my partner’s it seems so my career track […]

Undertake a short (< 5 minute) survey about your experience of gender inequality (or lack of) in coastal geoscience and engineering. This will add to an initial survey undertaken at the International Coastal Symposium in March 2016, which indicated that this is an instructive endeavour We would greatly appreciate your participation in this survey, which will help […]
For many of us, whether we are in academia, government, or industry, job insecurity and short-term contracts can become draining. Dr Dani Barrington is a Research Fellow jointly appointed by Monash University and the International Water Centre, and an Honorary Fellow at The University of Queensland. As her contract ends in a few weeks, Dani shares her thoughts on how […]
Hi everyone. It’s been a busy time of year for the committee with research, projects, teaching, field work, conferences, and family. Since the launch of WICGE in March, we have had our website updated with our new web address www.womenincoastal.org, and we now have a member form so that members can add themselves to the […]
Women make up just 16 per cent of the 2.3 million STEM-qualified Australians. The most glaring gap is in engineering and related technologies which are just 14 per cent female. As a result, we see a waste in both talent and economy as many university-qualified women in STEM choose not to pursue careers in the […]
Member spotlight: Katherine Ratliff, Duke University Nicholas School of the Environment I am a Ph.D. candidate in the Division of Earth & Ocean Sciences at the Duke University Nicholas School of the Environment.
