Anouska Mendzil
Research Assistant, SEACAMS2
Research expertise:
Working across two research fields, coastal engineering and open water, conducting research into environmental impacts of marine renewable energy (MRE) devices, including device noise particularly potential effects on marine mammals. Particular expertise in; cetacean monitoring, UAV's (drone operator), sediment-related heavy metals, sediment transport and storage, floodplain processes and dynamics, geomorphology, flood and coastal risk management, environmental management, GIS and X-Ray Fluorescence.
