Research interests

Kerstin Schrottke is particularly interested in coastal logic and there in particular in coastal systems (estuaries, mud flats , cliffs , sandy surf coasts ) their dynamics ( hydrodynamics , morphodynamics, sediment dynamics) and development ( coastal erosion , coastal protection , sediment balancing), as well as the areas of sedimentology (sediment stratigraphy) and measurement technology ( hydroacoustics ).
