I am a MASCOS PhD student working under Professor Matthew England (UNSW) and Dr Steven Griffies (NOAA/GFDL). I am affiliated with the Climate Change Research Centre.
Other people who I work with are Professor Roger Grimshaw (Department of Mathematical Sciences, Loughborough University) and Dr Alistair Adcroft (AOS, Princeton University).
I am interested in the dynamics of the ocean and the representation of these dynamics in coarse resolution global scale ocean models. My main areas of interest are:
I completed a Physics degree at the University of Sydney in 2003 and did Honours in Marine Science in 2004 at the University of New South Wales. From 2005 to 2007 (inclusive) I worked for a tour company in Papua New Guinea. I then started my PhD in January 2008.
