Research Interests and History
My PhD
research, at Bristol, was in breaking waves on beaches (1979-82) with Howell
Peregrine. With a move to the Institute of Oceanographic Sciences (IOS) in
Taunton I then became interested in internal waves and mixing in estuaries
(1982-85). This was followed by a spell at IOS in Wormley where I studied internal
waves in the ocean (mostly in the Bay of Biscay) with Robin Pingree
(1985-1990). A further move to the James Rennell Centre in Southampton
(1990-1995) saw me commence interests in ocean circulation modelling, with a
particular focus on the North Atlantic. Here I was the leader of a group using
the MICOM isopycnic ocean model with which we became involved in many projects,
including DYNAMO. I have continued these interests more recently at the
National Oceanography Centre, Southampton (1995-present), where I am now also
involved in coupled climate modelling. As well as maintaining my interests in
internal waves, I also led a cruise to the Indian Ocean in 2002 which is
revealing insights into the flow patterns around the Mascarene Plateau.
