About the speaker:
Professor George Veronis is one of the world's most eminent GFD experts and physical oceanographers, with a career spanning fifty years, and more than 150 papers in leading journals. His work has involved theoretical
modelling of fluid dynamics applied to oceans, atmospheres and stars. His publications from the 1950s and 1960s remain highly cited, and his modern-day work continues to have a significant impact in fluid mechanics and physical oceanography. Recently George has made major contributions to our knowledge of oceanic mixing and the global thermohaline circulation. He is a Fellow of the US National Academy of Sciences and was the winner of the inaugural Scripps Institution of Oceanography R. and B. Cody Award in Ocean Science.
