Peter Robins is a Senior Lecturer in Physical Oceanography at the School of Ocean Sciences, Bangor University. In Blueadapt, Peter is developing hydrodynamic models of the case study regions and working with researchers to parameterise pathogen behaviour through the river-to-coast system to be incorporated in the modelling.

He applies physical modelling studies for Coastal and Estuarine processes including flooding, water quality, biophysical interactions, morphodynamics, marine renewable energy, and climate change.

These studies include realistic representations of the past or future such as water quality health risk mapping, or hypothetical scenarios such as proposed coastal alterations like flood mitigation measures. He has studied estuaries at fine scales to understand their sensitivity to complex interactions of rivers, tides, surges and sea-level rise, point-source discharges, and how these interactions control coastal flooding, plastic dispersal, water quality and human health. He is particularly interested in characterising natural variabilities, extreme compound events and the implications of climate change on the coastal zone.
