Research Interests:
Professor Antunes specializes in Geometrical and Physical Geodesy and Land Surveying, with a particular focus on:
Sea level rise, storm surge, tide modelling, and coastal risk assessment along the Atlantic coast of mainland Portugal
Tidal inlets dynamics, sedimentary beach monitoring via GPS RTK, and mean sea level variation
He employs numerical and analytical modelling, as well as time series analysis to study natural and bio-physical processes.
