I work as a Coastal Process Scientist for the Channel Coastal Observatory in Southampton monitoring the coast as part of the Southeast Strategic Regional Coastal Monitoring Programme. We undertake topographic beach surveys and nearshore hydrographic surveys. The data are processed and used by a wide variety of stakeholders. I am responsible for planning, undertaking and analysing beach surveys within the East Solent area. The wide variety of modules I covered at Cardiff, as well as the use of different software and the practical fieldwork aspect, helped me to secure a job which I love.
Accreditation
Our marine geography programmes are accredited by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS).
You will get plenty of opportunity to develop your field work skills with regular day trips and residential trips in Wales and overseas.
