Mark is a Professor of Coastal Geomorphology at the University of Auckland. He works primarily on eroding coasts and is particularly interested in the effects of sea-level rise on coastal erosion. Mark conducts his research using a combination of field experiments, remote sensing and numerical modelling. He co-led the Coastal Programme of the Resilience National Science Challenge from which the Coastal Change dataset was produced.

Murray is a coastal geomorphologist working in a range of coastal settings. At present, he is primarily working on reef island systems in the Pacific. He employs both field and remote sensing approaches to better understand reef island geomorphology, evolution, and dynamics of these landforms.

Emma is a coastal scientist interested in the impacts of climate change on coastal systems, including communities. Emma co-led the Coastal Programme of the Resilience National Science Challenge from which the Coastal Change dataset was produced. In addition to her research on New Zealand coastal systems, Emma continues to pursue research in Pacific coral reef systems. 

Megan is a Research Fellow in the School of Environment at the University of Auckland. She joined the coastal team in 2021 after completing her PhD in Geography at Auckland University. Megan’s research interests span coastal geomorphology and coastal hazards exploring coastal change here in New Zealand as well as at coral reef islands in the Pacific.
