Biography
Arnold is a coastal oceanographer / engineer and Forrest Foundation Prospect Fellow with over 10 years of experience in physical and numerical modelling of coastal hydro- and morphodynamic processes. His current research focus is on better understanding and improving predictions of coastal physical processes (e.g. ocean waves, currents, sediment transport) along coastlines with marine ecosystems such as salt marshes, seagrass meadows, coral reefs and mangroves. In particular, Arnold is interested in quantifying the capacity of marine ecosystems in providing protection against coastal hazards such as flooding and erosion.
