 | | The Earth's rotation and the subtle competing effects of salinity and temperature lead to counter-intuitive dynamical behaviour. |
 | | Turbulent motions at scales as small as a few millimetres can influence circulation at the megametre scale of ocean basins, with consequences for climate, resource utilisation, and the protection of the marine environment. |
 | | Our two main areas of interest are oceanic processes and the behaviour of regional seas, with our investigations ranging from field work in local waters, to analysis of data from elsewhere in the world, to theoretical studies. |
