Prof. John M. Huthnance

Current projects
Dense water overflows off continental shelves (cascading).  
Global impacts of shelf seas lope mixing geophysical oceanography - seismic sounding of the water column.
Physical environment contributions to "Charting Progress 2" - Defra report on state of UK seas.

Research interests
Marine dynamics   especially of the seas over the continental shelf and slope; waves over topography and their implications for residual circulation, sediment movement and ocean-shelf coupling and exchange; promotion of coupled models (physics-sediment-biology).
