RESEARCH

My research focus is environmental fluid mechanics, in particular the interaction between physical and biological systems in natural aquatic environments. Specific interests include:

·         Internal waves

·         Whitecapping surface waves

·         Benthic–pelagic coupling

·         Plume dispersion

·         Oceanographic measurement methods

 

FIELD PHOTOS

·         Central Kimberley Coast, June 2008

·         North West Shelf internal wave generation experiment, November 2008
