Research Interests: Over the last decade, my research has focused on understanding the weather-band ocean circulation over continental shelves. Particular areas of study involve the generation and scattering of coastal-trapped waves by variations in shelf geometry, and by large sea straits as typified by Bass Strait. Indeed, a reasonably complete scattering theory has been developed for sea straits, and numerical models developed to describe the circulation for the Bass Strait region. A more recent area of study involves the nature of the shelf/slope circulation along Australia's southern shelves. Important processes range from winds, heating, offshore forcing and El Nino effects.
