I'm a Senior Lecturer in Physical Oceanography at the School of Ocean Sciences. My Degree in Mathematics and Physical Oceanography (2003) and Ph.D on internal tides (2008) were also from Bangor University. Since then, I've been interested in a wide range of human and biological impacts of coastal dynamics and change, with applications to coastal hazards (flooding, water quality degradation, pollution and public health risk), coastal morphology, marine population dynamics and connectivity, and marine renewable energy resource and impact studies.
My research generally involves developing computer models that simulate coastal processes, whether this is realistic representations of the past, future climate predictions, or hypothetical scenarios such as simulating flood mitigation options or the impact of tidal-stream turbines on sediment transport. I'm especiallly intersted in estuaries because of the so many complex processes occuring here that affect communities and wildlife, and as there is still much to discover such as how extreme river flows and sea levels interact to exacerbate flooding, or how sewage disperses towards coastal beaches and shellfish beds. I enjoy working with a wide range of scientists across different diciplines, with climate modellers to ensure their projections are relevant for coastal impact, and with coastal policy makers so that our research has real world outcomes.
