Sonia Castanedo

Biography

I am PhD in Civil Engineering since 2000. I am currently Full Professor in the Civil Engineering School of the University of Cantabria (Spain) and researcher at the Geomatic and Ocean Engineering Group (GeoOcean). My research areas are hydrodynamic modeling of long waves (tide, storm surge), hydrodynamics and morphodynamics of estuaries, operational oceanography, oil spill risk assessment and coastal flooding risk.
