Preserving Britain's Coastlines

Comments (0)

This Mathematics Matters case study looks at the serious problem of coastal erosion. Much of the UK’s coastline is undergoing erosion, placing homes, businesses and other important coastal sites at risk. Mathematical modelling can enable us to understand both the short and long term processes that lead to erosion, and help protect the nation’s coast. The resource can be used by teachers to guide their students or shared directly with students to inform them about careers using mathematics.
