Ocean models Using numerical ocean models, we simulate the global ocean circulation from the surface to the abyss.
Our research in this area is important in several areas of marine science. Only by modelling the world'soceans can we get an idea of the big picture and understand what is happening to the planet.
Marine Systems Modelling Group
The Marine Systems Modelling (MSM) group are world-leaders in numerical modelling of the global oceans and shelf seas. This includes modelling the ocean circulation and heat transport, marine ecosystems, sea-ice, turbulence, surface waves, sediment transport, tides and storm surges.

Shelf & coastal processes
Using models to understand physical processes, and their linkages to biogeochemistry, within shelf and coastal seas.
Biogeochemical models
We use marine ecosystem models as a means of understanding and predicting the role and importance of living systems in the ocean.
Shelf & coastal impacts
We are concerned with how climate change and human activities impact on coastal and shelf seas.
Climate & uncertainty
We are interested in what causes errors to appear and grow in climate model based predictions of future climate change?
Global modelling
The global high resolution ocean modelling group develop numerical global ocean models to study the ocean dynamics.
High performance computing
We use high performance computers to undertake model studies and use ocean observing technologies to validate and improve these models.

Collaborations
Collaboration with world leading groups, including significant partnering with the universities of Southampton and Liverpool, is the core of our marine research and technology endeavour.
