About
Shane Keating is an Associate Professor at the School of Mathematics & Statistics, University of New South Wales, with a research focus on mathematical oceanography and geophysical fluid dynamics. His work bridges theoretical modeling, numerical simulations, and observational data to study ocean turbulence, mixing, and climate-critical processes.
- Current role: Senior Lecturer (2017–Present)
- Previous roles: Lecturer at UNSW (2013–2017), Postdoctoral and Research Scientist positions at New York University's Courant Institute
- PhD in Physics from University of California San Diego
His research interests include:
- Turbulent mixing and stirring in geophysical flows
- Ocean state estimation and data assimilation
- Satellite remote sensing of ocean dynamics
- Submesoscale ocean eddy interactions
- Fractal geometry of ocean fronts
- Geophysical wave energy transfer
He leads projects on parameterizing submesoscale processes in climate models, with applications to the East Australian Current. His publications span topics from Southern Ocean eddy dynamics to breaking inception in surface gravity waves. His recent work emphasizes:
- Stochastic methods for unresolved submesoscale dynamics
- Quantifying cross-front transport patterns
- Advanced data assimilation techniques
- Energy pathways in western boundary currents
