Coasting into the future

NB. This event has been rescheduled from Feb 4

Start the year on a positive note and learn about the strategies being implemented in your local area to deal with the impact of climate change on the Port Phillip Bay coast.

Join our expert presenters geologist Dr James Driscoll (Assistant Lecturer, Monash University) and The Royal Society of Victoria President and coastal geomorphologist Rob Gell AM to explore the dynamic nature of our coastal and marine environment. They will focus on climate change impacts and mitigation solutions, and the geological and geomorphological evolution of our coastline.

Our presenters will also incorporate geospatial technologies and consider how citizen science programs are helping to understand the current and future changes in Port Phillip Bay.
