Overview

I am a Research Fellow at Bangor University in physical oceanography, with applications to blue economy industries and coastal flood risk. My research uses computer models to numerically simulate marine processes, including how these processes interact and how they may change in the future under climate change scenarios. For example, how to downscale climate model information to impact, future changes to hazard in estuaries, or ocean-atmosphere exchange processes (e.g. wave-tide interaction). 

Current Research projects:

  •  NERC UK Climate Resilience Programme. Sensitivity of Estuaries to Climate Hazards (SEARCH). 
  • NERC. The UK contribution to validating SWOT in the Bristol Channel and River Severn. 
  • EPSRC Research Fellowship in Marine Renewable Energy: METRIC
  • EPSRC Supergen ORE flexfund: V-SCORES  

  • GCRF-NERC SEAMAP (plastic mapping ffrom source to sink in Philippines) 
  • ERDF SEEC project: http://seec.bangor.ac.uk/

I have an interest in combining computer models of biological and physical processes to better understand the marine system. I am actively working in a number of research areas: future flood risk, estuarine processes modelling (flooding risk, morphodynamics), bio-geo-chemical modelling including bio-engineering of marine renewables and offshore aquaculture, wave-tide interaction modelling, baroclinlic modelling and larvae modelling. 

I am a member of the EPSRC Associate Peer Review College. Visiting lecturer at the University of Reading and guest lecturer at University of Rhode Island USA. I have worked with multiple research partners across the globe: e.g. UK Met Office, CSIRO Australia, NIWA New Zealand. I am a STEM ambassador and have collaborated with historians (legends to validate climate models), local artists and wild swimming enthusiasts (predicting the movement of water); outreach examples include the CwmniDaTv and BBC 2 "Harnessing the Tide" and school STEM activity https://youtu.be/UaxXupfZSSk

Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (HEA), with both stages of the PGCertHE completed. Editor for JMSE and Energies. Associate Editor for Frontiers in Marine Science. Guest editor in VSI for Elsevier's Renewable Energy. Number book chapters on marine renewables (e.g. Marine Renewable Energy, 2017, Springer International Publishing). Reviewer for Marine Climate Change Impacts Partnership (MCCIP) and IPCC. Session convenor at the EGU conference for 4 years, and am on the advisory board of the AuSTEN, EPSRC Supergen-ORE and EPSRC PRIMaRE project.

Teaching and Supervision

I teach the ocean modelling module at Bangor Unviersity (OSX3016/OSX4012) and a visiting lectuer at University of Reading. 

I am happy to be an external PhD examiner, and have been on the subject of wave-tide interaction at The University of Strathclyde, and Indonesian tidal energy resource at Edinburgh University.

I supervise many undergraduate and masters level research projects.

I currently supervise 7 PhD students and one KESS MRES:

Mike Case - Impact of Underwater Noise Propagation on Fish

Bernd Stephan- Optimizing multiple tidal lagoon power plants.

Mike Ridgil - KESS funded. Renewable energy resource assessment using remote sensing.

Nia Jones - NERC Envision funded DTP. Dispersal of microplastics in the marine environment

Mirko Barada - Cemlyn Jones trust funded. Coastal flooding: using historical records to mitigate future risk

Thomas Clough - KESS-EAST funded. Future of estuaries PhD studentship with Welsh Water 

Aaron Furnish: NERC Envision funded DTP (and Met Office CASE): Pathways to Realistic Impact Modelling in Estuarine Areas (PRIMEA)

MRES:

Mike Kennington: Ocean surface currents and novel micro marine renewable energy resources

Postgraduate Project Opportunities

I am willing to take PhD students..Please contact me (m.j.lewis@bangor.ac.uk) for further details. I have one MRES student (KESS ocean surface currents), one NERC Envision PhD student (Micro-plastics), and two KESS PhD students (Future of estuaries, remote sensing renewable energy resources).
