معرفی
Georgy Shapiro is a Professor of Physical Oceanography and Associate Lecturer at the School of Biological and Marine Sciences, University of Plymouth. As Head of the Plymouth Ocean Forecasting Centre, he specializes in ocean modeling, data assimilation, and acoustic wave propagation. He teaches modules such as The Global Ocean, Modelling the Marine Environment, and Contemporary Issues in Marine Science, and leads CPD programs in advanced oceanography. His research focuses on dense water cascades, ocean forecasting systems, and environmental impacts of shipping noise. He has supervised over nine PhD students, including studies on Black Sea circulation, Arctic Ocean dynamics, and acoustic wave behavior in shallow seas.
His work contributes to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) related to climate action and marine ecosystem preservation. Key projects include developing high-resolution ocean models for the Lakshadweep Sea and Red Sea, and advancing methods for error covariance estimation in data assimilation. He collaborates internationally, notably with the CENORE Steering Committee and through the PERSEUS initiative.
- Teaching Roles: BSc/MSc/CPD modules since 2000
- Research Focus: Data assimilation, ocean circulation modeling, and acoustics
- Key Labs/Teams: Plymouth Ocean Forecasting Centre
His advising spans decades, with notable students contributing to topics like Arctic cascades and electromagnetic wave propagation in the Arabian Gulf. Current research trends emphasize integrating machine learning and stochastic methods to enhance ocean model resolution and accuracy.
