Dr Rippeth is a Reader in physical oceanography, at the School of Ocean Sciences. His research involves studying how different waters mix.
He explains: 鈥淎lthough continental shelf seas make up a small fraction of the world's ocean surface, they are areas of intense physical and biological activity. The focus of my research is in identifying and understanding what happens when waters of different concentrations and temperatures meet each other or mix. Understanding these processes and interpreting them correctly affects how accurate our global climate models are.鈥�
