THREE DAY WORKSHOP OF COASTAL CIRCULATION MODELING CONCLUDED in KUFOS
A 3-Day training workshop on Coastal circulation modeling and larval transport has been concluded today at KUFOS. This training was organized by Nansen Environmental Research Centre India and Kerala University of Fisheries and Ocean Studies at their Panangad campus. Dr. Felix Jose, Associate professor of Marine Science at Florida Gulf Coast University from the United States led the training program. Dr. Jose was awarded the prestigious Fulbright-Nehru Specialist Fellowship from the US Department of State for traveling to Kochi and for leading this workshop. Scientists and Ph.D. scholars from Nansen Centre, KUFOS, CUSAT, NPOL, SCMS, Amity University and NIT Surathkal and other nearby colleges actively participated in this advanced training in Hydrodynamic modeling using DHI modeling suit. Hands-on training provides participants the necessary tools/know-how to advance research on coastal problems pertaining to coastal erosion, bi-valve larval transport, etc. Dr. Jose is hosted by Dr. Ajith Joseph, Director of Nansen Centre for the fellowship and the training was co-hosted by Prof.S.Suresh Kumar, Dean, Faculty of Ocean Science and Technology, and supported by the Research Council of Norway on Partnership for Education and cooperation in Operational Oceanography (PECO2) joint project of NERCI - KUFOS and supervised by Dr.Phiros Sha, Dr. V.P.
