Coupled hydrodynamic-ecosystem modelling

A numerical modeller, specialising in developing coupled hydrodynamics-ecosystem models and using them to explore the relationship between the open ocean and continental shelf in the northeast Atlantic. Recent work includes simulating the fate of carbon taken up by the ocean from the atmosphere and the exchanges of nutrients and carbon between the shelf and the open ocean. Another area of interest is studying the response of the ocean-shelf system to climate change scenarios and anthropogenic drivers.
