  Job Title: Research Fellow in Marine Modelling


Scientific interests 

•   Physical Oceanography - modelling and observations
•   Physical processes which determines the evolution of heat and salt content on   the range of scales from Scottish sea lochs with the sills to the North Atlantic Ocean
•  Turbulent mixing and their relation with internal waves and tides, modelling of their combined effects with external (meteo) forcing on water renovation in the semi-enclosed basins

Current projects

• HYPOX -  In situ monitoring of oxygen depletion in hypoxic ecosystems of coastal and open seas, and land-locked water bodies
