Dr Rob Hall is a physical oceanographer with research interests in the field of shelf sea and deep ocean fluid dynamics, diagnosed from both observations and numerical model simulations. He has a specific interest in internal waves and internal tides, their interactions with complex topography such as submarine canyons and seamounts, their effect on turbulent … Continued
Trained in biology and oceanography, Guillem started his scientific career in the study of deep-sea benthic ecology by means of remoted operated vehicles (ROVs), mainly focused on how environmental variables and seafloor parameters determine species distribution. With time his interest in benthic species capable of creating habitats grew and thus, he started to look at … Continued
I am a final-year PhD student at the University of Bristol, UK, where I study the chemistry of deep-sea coral skeletons. In Bristol, our research aims to understand how these corals build their skeletons, as well as how resilient they and the biological communities they support are to future changes in our oceans. We also … Continued
