Simone Cosoli

Simone Cosoli is a Senior Research Fellow at the Oceans Institute of The University of Western Australia within the School of Engineering. His research focuses on ocean dynamics using radar networks to study surface currents, continental shelf processes, and ocean eddies in Western Australia.

Dr. Cosoli's research spans physical oceanography with key areas including:

• Radar oceanography and ocean radar networks
• Surface current and sea-level variability
• Mesoscale and sub-mesoscale eddy dynamics
• Marine pollution modeling, especially plastic contamination

His work centers on Western Australia's continental shelf and Leeuwin Current system, addressing climate impacts and marine resource management.

Recent publications (2023-2024) demonstrate integration of radar data and modeling to solve ocean observing challenges and environmental issues. Key trends include long-term current variability analysis, eddy dynamics in response to climate drivers, and plastic contamination modeling in international waters with emphasis on Australian continental shelf applications.

Dr. Cosoli has supervised at least one student. His research projects include:

• iMOS Ocean Radar NCRIS (2023-2027): Funded by Australian Department of Education
• Develop a strong current warning system (2018-2021): Funded by Fisheries Research & Development Corporation for Western Rock Lobster fishery
• Integrated Marine Observing System IMOS – Ocean Radar (2017-2022): Funded by National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy

He operates within UWA's Oceans Institute and the Integrated Marine Observing System network, leading interdisciplinary teams in ocean radar technology development, data quality control protocols, and marine environmental applications across Australian and international collaborations.
