Coastal environment research focuses on the study of the interactions between the land, sea, and atmosphere in coastal regions. This research area typically examines the physical, biological, and chemical processes that shape coastal landscapes and ecosystems, as well as the impacts of human activities on coastal environments. Topics of study may include coastal erosion, sea level rise, pollution, habitat degradation, and the conservation of coastal biodiversity. Researchers in this field often work to better understand and manage coastal environments in order to protect and preserve these critical ecosystems for future generations.
