Biography

Senior research fellow with the University College Cork MaREI centre, developing and leading scientific research in the Marine Science and Offshore Renewables Energy space. Actively engaged in passive acoustics research and currently lead the 10 ME EU flagship SATURN H2020 project focused on finding solutions to reduce the impact of underwater noise from shipping. [ https://www.saturnh2020.eu/]. Current UCC lead for JPI oceans PureWind project addressing underwater noise effects associated with offshore wind energy development. 

Previously led JONAS Interreg project on noise in Atlantic Seas (2018-2022); [ https://www.marei.ie/project/jonas/]. 

To date I have generated contracts with a value of 4m € to UCC.

My main research interests concern marine acoustics (active and passive); sustainable development of marine renewables, and the sustainable management of living and non-living resources with particular reference to Irish and EU near-shore shelf environments and processes. In order to achieve this I develop and manage a variety of research projects and consultancy contracts in the marine environmental domain. These typically involve facilitating the acquisition and transformation of raw data into technical/engineering solutions, science policy and commercial applications.

As Deputy Director at the Coastal and Marine Research Centre from 2004-2015, I was instrumental in building the centres' capacity in seabed mapping, geomatics, marine spatial planning, offshore technologies and environmental impact assessment. 

Specialties: Research leadership, project coordination, consultancy. IPMI Certified Applied Project Manager. Experienced in strategic development, project development/implementation, EU projects, Strategic engagement, proposal writing. 10 yrs industrial hydrographic experience (89-98) HR acoustic seabed and subbottom mapping. Excellent offshore operations record as Chief Surveyor/Party Chief for geophysical and hydrographic surveys and scientific research cruises (1990-2005). Expertise in geomatics, web-technologies, standards based compliance and interoperability..‍

Research Interests

I am interested the development and application of novel acoustic field monitoring techniques using traditional hydrophones in conjunction with Optical Fibre (DAS) to investigate changes in habitat use and behaviour of sensitive species. I am also interested in developing laboratory, field studies and advanced modelling techniques (including agent-based approaches) which are also required to quantify dose/response effects of underwater noise (including particle motion component) at both individual and population level from micro to macro scale across taxa. Noise from vessels is the dominant anthropogenic noise source, however the industrialisation of continental shelves in the context of offshore energy generation (wind, wave and tidal) poses an increasing risk which must be addressed if the full potential of essential low carbon energy sources is to be realised sustainably.   
A second area of intersecting research activity concerns the development of a European scale distributed infrastructure as an ecosystem for developing and testing offshore energy devices from lab to full operational scale.
