Julio Salcedo-Castro

Dr. Julio Salcedo-Castro serves as a Research Fellow at Queensland University of Technology within the Faculty of Science, School of Earth & Atmospheric Sciences. He holds a PhD in Physical Oceanography from Memorial University of Newfoundland and maintains active research in coastal ocean processes.

His research interests encompass:

• Physical Oceanography
• River Plume Dynamics
• Wave-Current Interactions
• Eddy Formation
• Coastal Oceanography
• Climate-Ocean Interactions

Dr. Salcedo-Castro's recent publications demonstrate expertise in modeling coastal phenomena across diverse geographical settings, from Chilean river systems to Asian delta regions. His methodological approach combines numerical modeling with experimental techniques to investigate complex oceanographic processes that impact coastal environments and ecosystems.

His current research supervision includes projects on "Analysing the oceanographic variables that generate and mobilise coral rubble on the Great Barrier Reef," indicating expansion of his research focus to include coral reef dynamics and the physical processes affecting reef structures.
