معرفی
Christopher Unsworth is a Researcher at the School of Ocean Sciences, Bangor University, specializing in coastal oceanography and sediment transport dynamics. He currently leads the SEACAMS-2 project, focusing on renewable energy infrastructure and sediment-turbulence interactions. His work integrates field measurements, numerical modeling, and advanced acoustic techniques to study hyper-tidal environments like Morecambe Bay. With expertise in acoustic instrumentation (ADCP, SBES) and software (MATLAB, ArcGIS), he has conducted extensive fieldwork in Canada’s South Saskatchewan River and contributed to projects like BlueCOAST. His research aligns with UN SDGs, emphasizing sustainable coastal management and renewable energy innovation.
