Avidesh is a coastal scientist affiliated with the Environmental Change Institute, University of Oxford, where he serves as the Course Director for the MSc Environmental Change and Management. He also serves as a Co-Executive Lead for the Atlantic chapter of the Nature Based Coastal Solutions (NBCS) Community of Practice, a Coastal Zone Canada Association initiative. His primary research interest lies in the development, refinement, and applications of numerical models, and GIS and remote sensing techniques for studying coastal systems behaviour (evolution) and vulnerability over time and space scales of interest to coastal managers, particularly in small island states. Key areas include mesoscale shoreline evolution, coastal flood risk under future climate projections, and the socioeconomic impacts of flood prediction uncertainty.
