Professor Carl L Amos is Emeritus Professor within Ocean and Earth Science, National Oceanography Centre Southampton at the University of Southampton.
BSc Oceanography/Geology, University of Wales (1971)
PhD Sedimentology, Royal School of Mines, Imperial College, London (1974)
Specialisms: Sediment dynamics, coastal morphodynamics
Professor Amos has made significant and balanced contributions to the University in scientific leadership through research into the fundamental processes governing sediment transport. He has demonstrated strong leadership skills in coordinating and undertaking major research projects in tidally-dominated coastal settings. His present interests include the development of instrumentation (benthic landers and benthic flumes) for in situ measurement of sediment stability in cohesive and non-cohesive sediments, which has reesulted in over 100 science publications in this field of study. He is presently involved in developing and calibrating a sediment transport model of Venice Lagoon (with the National Research Council of Italy) for purposes of management of lagoonal habitats.
