Secondment description: (M6–M8 - Phase 1 - WP2) will develop skills on BMSL and BMSS, sharing uncertainty-aware calibration techniques and learning how to extend and apply these methods to different morphological variables, such as sandbar position and dune morphology.
Worked examples
Example 1: (M22–M26 - Phase 2 - WP3) will develop skills on CUSS and CUSE by building a multi-model framework coupled with a climate emulator to propagate quantified structural uncertainties (WP2) alongside climate variability.
Example 2: (M24–M27 - Phase 2 - WP2) will develop skills on OMSS and OMSE by designing and implementing a benchmark comparison of shoreline evolution models using IH-SET across morphodynamically diverse beaches along the southeastern Australian coast, including calibration, performance evaluation, and uncertainty analysis across contrasting coastal settings.

Instructions
- Consider M# to be the first day of the month. If your secondment lasts 3 months, fill in M#–M#+3.
- Try to link each secondment to 1–5 skills, depending on its duration.
- Do not select too many skills for a single short secondment.
- PhD students should focus on developing a few key skills rather than spreading themselves too thin across many areas.
- PhD students secondments should last at least 3 months.
- It is valuable to link a secondment to more than one WP in order to ensure interdisciplinarity.
- Try to distribute secondments across the project timeline.
- Try to keep a limit of 30% of secondments from your institution to non-beneficiary hosts (UNSW, USGS, UFSC, DUKE, CSIRO, UoA).
- Do not be too ambitious in the number of skills selected or in the scope of the description; all secondments should be feasible within the planned timeframe.
- If the participant is undertaking more than one secondment, enter one in each row when submitting the description.
