Biography

Dr Cazenave's current research focuses on the application of unstructured grid modelling in coastal environments, using the model FVCOM (the Finite Volume Community Ocean Model). Coupled with FVCOM, the ERSEM ecosystem model is used to assess the impacts of marine renewable energy devices (e.g. offshore wind farms, tidal turbines and wave energy devices) on the physical and ecosystem aspects of shelf seas. In particular, marine renewable energy installations at WaveHub off the north Cornish coast, in the Irish Sea and in the Orkneys (at EMEC) are the focus of study at present.

Research Intrest

Virus isolation, screening and characterization.
