Please note that this project is mainly based at the National Oceanography Centre, Liverpool. Understanding of coastal sea level dynamics is essential for predicting it. Read more
Aquaculture in coastal waters is critically dependent on water quality. Satellite remote sensing has the potential to provide water quality on unprecedented spatio-temporal scales but is currently hampered by fundamental limitations including atmospheric correction and algorithm failure in turbid waters. Read more
Saltmarsh is an important coastal habitat that provides a range of ecosystem services including carbon storage, flood defence through wave attenuation, nursery grounds for commercial fish species and improvements to water quality. Read more
*Please note that this PhD will be hosted at the National Oceanography Centre in Liverpool*. Understanding and predicting the exchange of nutrients, heat, and planktonic organisms between the open ocean and the coast is important for human activities. Read more
Project overview. Calving glaciers generate internal tsunamis in the surface ocean mixed layer, a phenomenon accelerating with climate change. Read more
Project overview. The research will investigate the wave dissipation effects of coral reefs based on three-dimensional modelling of storm waves using a supercomputer. Read more
Project overview . Marine sediments contain massive amounts of ‘blue carbon’ isolated from the atmosphere for millennia. Net carbon flux into sediments and the influence of human activity and changing climate is poorly quantified. Read more
Clinoforms are inclined stratigraphic surfaces that encompass rounded sedimentary bodies which build out from shallow to deeper water environments. Read more
