To keep the pennies rolling in I'm an Physical Oceanographer. At the moment I'm researching Sediment Dynamics - the resuspension, transport and deposition of sediment in various situations.
Me, cup of tea at the ready, waiting for the tide to change ...
I'm employed by CEFAS (Centre for Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture Sciences) who have even got their own home page !!!CEFAS link If you look very carefully you can see a section called Environmental Processes - that's our team!!! I've developed a series of seabed landers capable of measuring current velocities very near the seabed, wave height and tidal elevations from a pressure sensor and optical and acoustic methods of estimating the suspended load concentration. These landers, or Minipods are capable of recording all the sensors for periods upto 2 months.
