Black Sea Ecosystem Recovery Project (BSERP), cruise-coordinator, 2004

The Black Sea Ecosystem Recovery Project (BSERP) is organising a series of three international research cruises in the Black Sea, one of which is scheduled to occur in spring 2004. These cruises are designed to provide crucial information on some of the key uncertainties regarding the future management of the Black Sea. In practice, the research cruises represent the first comprehensive gathering of new data on the Black Sea since the early 1990s.

NTAS N°99-1600, "Dense water overflow off continental shelves (cascading)", 2000-2003

The project aims to improve understanding and modelling of dense water overflows, i.e. "cascading" as a meso-scale process, using observations (focused on the edge of the continental shelf) and generic models, and to estimate resulting shelf-ocean fluxes. Research groups from UK, Germany, Italy and Russia are involved in this project (details about the project can be found here).
