Andrew John Chadwick

Professor
University of Plymouth

My teaching and professional interests span civil engineering hydraulics, river engineering and coastal engineering. I am currently visiting professor of coastal engineering at the University of Plymouth, UK. During the period 2008-11 I was professor of coastal engineering at the University of the West Indies. Prior to 2009 I was professor of coastal engineering at the University of Plymouth and associate director of the Marine Institute.

Areas of Research / Professional Expertise

    Since 1986, my research work has centred on nearshore wave measurements, coastal sediment transport, hydrodynamic and morphodynamic physical and numerical modelling. The emphasis of much of this work has been in evaluating and validating theory and models against field and laboratory data and in identifying key processes to be modelled. I have particular experience of research on coarse grained and mixed beaches and studying barrier beach systems
    From 2006 to 2009 I lead the UK contribution to the European Network for Coastal Research Co-ordination Action (ENCORA) and was the ENCORA themes co-ordinator.
    I have jointly authored two leading academic textbooks, Hydraulics in Civil and Environmental Engineering and Coastal Engineering, Processes, Theory and Design Practice.
