Statistical analysis and forecasts of long-term sandbank evolution at Great Yarmouth, UK - Dominic Reeve (Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science, 2008)
This work was funded through the Flood Risk Management Research Consortium, (funded by amongst others, EPSRC, EA, NERC and UKWIR), together with collaboration with a RCUK Research Fellow (Magar). The paper presents a novel data-driven modelling technique which is applied to the problem of forecasting the evolution of offshore sandbanks over the period of almost a decade. The method involves statistical analysis, resampling and forecasting steps and was validated against a high quality dataset obtained from the Great Yarmouth Port Authority. Additional funding was obtained from NERC as part of their FREE programme (Contact Prof. P Hardaker).
