Kévin Martins

Hi and welcome to my personal webpage!

I am currently a Research Fellow (Marie Sklodowska-Curie Global Fellowship) at EPOC (CNRS - University of Bordeaux, France), working on the project lidBathy. The Water Research Laboratory (WRL) of the University of New South Wales, Australia, is the outgoing partner for this 2.5 year-long project funded by the European Union.

The overreaching goal of lidBathy is to study the hydro- and morphological interactions between the surf and swash zones during extreme events by developing an innovative depth-inversion tool, which derives surf zone bathymetry from lidar sea surface scans. More details about the project and its advancements will be posted on its dedicated page. The project will first employ surface elevation and bathymetric datasets collected in both laboratory and field conditions to develop new depth-inversion approaches adapted to surf zone conditions. Dedicated experiments are being planned at the Field Research Facility at Duck NC, in collaboration with Kate Brodie from the USACE, in order to validate these approaches. Eventually, the project will apply the newly-developped tools for reconstructing and studying the morphological evolution of the Duck and Narrabeen sandy beaches during past major storms.

In this page, you will have access to my publications and a short CV, as well as directions to code repo and other social media stuff. Feel free to contact me if you are interested in or have any questions about my past/present work or anything closely related :)
