Contributions to Coastal Sea Level Extremes: Understanding the Past and Projecting the Future; Unleashing the potential of satellite data to derive global non-tidal residual and extreme water level products

I study changes in coastal sea levels (mean and extreme), ocean waves, and freshwater flows, how they can lead to (compound) flooding, and the associated impacts to support the development of resilient adaptation strategies in the face of uncertainties in future climate projections.
