Projects in this theme address the interaction between physical processes and the biological components of ecosystems (e.g. tidal and wave driven currents and their interaction with coastal vegetation or the role that vegetation plays in the preservation of tephra layers). This sub-group’s research recognises that there are a range of environmental systems in which the biological and physical components are so intertwined with each other that they must be considered together rather than in separate sub-disciplines.
