Professor Robert Brander is a beach safety researcher at the University of New South Wales. His research combines elements of coastal geomorphology and hazards while understanding the social and demographic aspects of beachgoers. The overall goal of his research is to understand the physical-social interaction of beach hazards to reduce the incidence of drowning and injuries at beaches and coastal environments. His work is divided into three main areas: Beach Hazards, focusing on rip currents as they are a significant hazard for recreational swimmers; Beach Safety, conducting studies on beachgoers' understanding and behavior regarding safety interventions; and Science Communication, assessing the effectiveness of public safety interventions for coastal hazards. His Science Surf Program (SOS) aims to provide basic scientific understanding of beaches and surf zones to the Australian and international communities to reduce the risks associated with drowning and injuries.
