Marine Environment Prediction

Marine Environment Prediction utilises advanced skills to make physical, biological or chemical marine science increasingly predictive and quantitative. New ocean observing systems, numerical models and advanced approaches to model-data assimilation are leading to research projects in ocean-circulation modelling, estimation of the physical state of the ocean, down-scaling to coastal environments, biogeochemical and ecosystem-modelling and new applications in interdisciplinary sciences such as fishery oceanography and ecosystem-management.
