Stuart Pearson is an assistant professor in coastal engineering at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) in Delft, the Netherlands. How do sand and mud contribute to the robustness of our coasts and deltas against climate change? How can we keep everyone's feet dry? Stuart and his team quantify sediment pathways and connectivity for strategic placement of sediment, via numerical modelling, lab experiments, and field measurements. Central to this goal is the development of an open source sediment pathway model and visualization tool, SedTRAILS.
