Biography

I am a Research Fellow at Bangor University in physical oceanography, with applications to blue economy industries and coastal flood risk. My research uses computer models to numerically simulate marine processes, including how these processes interact and how they may change in the future under climate change scenarios. For example, how to downscale climate model information to impact, future changes to hazard in estuaries, or ocean-atmosphere exchange processes (e.g. wave-tide interaction). Current Research projects: NERC UK Climate Resilience Programme. Sensitivity of Estuaries to Climate Hazards (SEARCH). NERC. The UK contribution to validating SWOT in the Bristol Channel and River Severn. EPSRC Research Fellowship in Marine Renewable Energy: METRIC EPSRC Supergen ORE flexfund: V-SCORES GCRF-NERC SEAMAP (plastic mapping ffrom source to sink in Philippines) ERDF SEEC project: http://seec.bangor.ac.uk/ My marine renewable energy EPSRC fellowship (METRIC) aims to characterise the resource (e.g. suitable locations), mean and extreme oceanographic conditions (e.g. to inform resilient design of devices), and interactions for marine renewable energy industries (both negative interactions, such as environmental impacts or marine spatial planning, or positive interactions such as co-location with aquaculture and additional services provided). I have an interest in combining computer models of biological and physical processes to better understand the marine system.
