Biography

Andrew Chadwick is Honorary Professor of Coastal Engineering at the University of Plymouth. From 2006 to 2009, he led the UK contribution to the European Network for Coastal Research. He subsequently worked in the Caribbean, establishing coastal management tools and investigating engineering adaptation options to climate change. He has a substantive publication record and has been a member of the editorial Panel for Maritime Engineering, the review board for the Journal of Hydraulic Research, and the EPSRC Peer Review College.

John Morfett was head of hydraulics research and taught at the University of Brighton, UK.

Martin Borthwick is a consultant flood hydrologist and Visiting Research Fellow at the University of Plymouth. He is a Chartered Civil Engineer with over 25 years’ experience as a former lecturer and Associate Professor in hydrology, river engineering, and hydraulics at the University of Plymouth, following professional practice in flood risk management. From 2019 – 2020, he was an Advisor in the National Flood Hydrology Team at the Environment Agency, UK.
