In April 2017, Stephen Clee alongside fellow WISE CDT students Paul Bayle, Jonathan King and Laurence Hawker attended the 13th UK Young Coastal Scientists and Engineers Conference (YCSEC), which was also hosted by WIRC@Bath. The event provided a remarkable opportunity for the students to present their work to other leading scientists and engineers. Building on the success of previous conferences, this YCSEC brought together over 60 researchers from more than 30 UK and international institutions for two days of fascinating presentations and lively discussions.
