Biography

Dr Wakelin has 20+ years’ experience developing and using coupled hydrodynamic-ecosystem models at different resolutions in regional seas. She focuses on the impact of changing physical environments and climate on marine processes, such as, studying the effects of ocean acidification on ecosystems; exploring near seabed oxygen controls; developing a carbon budget of the Northwest European Shelf; and studying relative impacts of climate change and anthropogenic drivers on ecosystems.
