Viola van Onselen is now working as a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Institute of Integrated Science and Technology, Nagasaki University, Japan.

She is interested in various management approaches to coastal zone issues around the world and currently studies coastal areas in Vietnam and Taiwan, in terms of how human decisions have affected the natural landscape, biodiversity and vulnerability of these coastal environments and explore how sustainable approaches, like Nature-based Solutions, can increase the resilience of coastal zones.
