I am a physical oceanographer, and my primary interest lies in understanding how changes in offshore oceanic circulation influence coastal sea level. To this end I work with observations and model outputs. I also develop theoretical ideas in the form of equational frameworks: they help explaining how open ocean changes may be mediated to the coast. Besides, I am a sea-going oceanographer, who contributes to ocean circulation observations at basin scale and regional scale. I sailed primarily in the Northeast Atlantic on Irish and UK vessels. Finally, I have a long-standing interest for teaching and learning and in the past, I have taken multiple teaching responsibilities on for both the Geography Department and Theoretical Physics Department at Maynooth University, Maynooth, Ireland.
