Explore Melbourne's Dynamic Coastline

Due to popular demand, this is a REPEAT of the Geography Victoria coastal fieldtrip held in November 2022.

Port Phillip is a wonderland of coastal geomorphology, right on Melbourne’s doorstep!

Join RSV President and coastal geomorphologist Rob Gell AM and geologist Dr James Driscoll (Assistant Lecturer, Monash University) to explore the dynamic nature of the bayside environment – looking at evidence of historical changes on the coast, the geological landscapes that shape our foreshores and the bay, the impacts of climate change, storms and sea level rise on the marine and coastal environment, and more…

Our presenters will share the emerging science and practices changing the way the Bay is monitored and managed. This includes the use of cutting-edge technology, engaging citizen science and the use of nature-based methods of coastal protection.
