Biography
Martin White gained a PhD in physical oceanography at Southampton University in 1991 and has been a lecturer in the NUI Galway Earth and Ocean Sciences discipline since 2003. Martin’s research interests lie in hydrographic processes and bio-physical interactions in continental margin waters. He is a co-PI in the Marine Geosciences spoke leading a PhD project (TP2.1) on hydrographic control on acoustic noise propagation at the continental margin. Models of acoustic noise propagation will be developed to evaluate noise levels and potential impact on the Irish ocean environment, hence helping to derisk environmental constraints on future seismic acquisition.
