Coast2Cast
Coastal geoscience is one of the most fascinating topics of research. Ana and Giovanni interview coastal scientists passionate about research in morphodynamics, bedforms, sediment transport and hydrodynamics. Join us to know about some curious research questions and some more curious non-research questions (https://coastalhub.science/coast2cast). Ana Vila-Concejo and Giovanni Coco are researchers at The University of Sydney and The University of Auckland, respectively. You can find them both in LinkedIn. Here are their websites: - https://coastalhub.science/ - https://grgusyd.org/ - https://www.sydney.edu.au/science/about/our-people/academic-staff/ana-vilaconcejo.html

Interview by Ana Vila-Concejo (@DrAnaVC)
History
In early 2021, Giovanni Coco and Ana Vila-Concejo (University of Sydney) decided to interview scientists around the world asking a similar set of questions with the purpose to know a bit more about their life and interests (from their hobbies to their favourite singer), and about some general research issues.
The idea is that, as covid madness continues, students and scientists around the world can still "meet" coastal scientists and hear directly from them.
The choice of scientists we interviewed has been a bit chaotic but we have tried to cover the whole planet and we have inevitably started by asking collaborators/friends/colleagues (hoping they would be kind enough to be interviewed). We definitely want to thank all scientists that have agreed to be interviewed, often at crazy times of the day. We also want to thank Maarten Kleinhans for providing the music for the intros and outros.
Feel free to contact us (ana.vilaconcejo@sydney.edu.au, g.coco@auckland.ac.nz) and suggest scientists you want us to interview.
