Temporal tide changes in the north-west European continental shelf)
It has been of scientific consensus for some time that non astronomical factors can lead to observable changes in tidal amplitudes. With high tides contributing to extreme water levels, even small changes in tidal amplitudes are non negligble. The work I am undertaking aims to identify the factors responsible for tidal changes observed at tide gauges in the north-western European shelf sea, as well as to quantify their respective contributions and identify the risks associated. This will be accomplished using a combination of data analysis and numerical modelling.
