My research aims to improve the estimation of key physical properties of the ocean—such as sea surface elevation, wind-waves, currents, and temperature—over operational timescales ranging from hours to days. These properties are critical for a wide range of activities within marine and coastal environments. While prediction and monitoring systems perform adequately in deeper waters, their effectiveness diminishes in shallow waters due to increased physical complexity. By integrating numerical models with in-situ measurements and remote sensing data, I seek to enhance our ability to detect, analyze, and better understand the dynamic processes occurring in coastal regions.

PhD student

Oshrat's research performs a theoretical investigation of surface gravity waves in the presence of shear-turbulence flow. She investigates the dynamics of wave growth in stratified shear flows and examines the mechanisms creating shear instability. 

This work is done in collaboration with Prof. Eyal Heifetz.

Qasem Slalha

PhD student

Quasem's research aims to extract bathymetric and current mapping using data from the satellite and other remote-sensing instruments. The first part of his PhD calibrates VENµS satellite multispectral images in conjunction with Lidar bathymetry mapping, photogrammetry images, and in-situ single beam mapping to provide a satellite remote-sensing technique of constructing bathymetric mapping.

This work is done in collaboration with Prof. Arnon Karnieli.
