Her PhD thesis refers to developing met-ocean modelling alongside algorithms for predicting the navigation and operation of autonomous offshore marine systems. Her research will explore methods to integrate measured data into wider spatial data from met-ocean models and satellite earth observation for the management of autonomous systems offshore, and the met-ocean model will also be studied in exploring the autonomous systems to be more intelligent.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Jiaxin has continually applied models, re-assessed and improved her approach. Even when results appear good, she never hesitates in trying to achieve better. With this enthusiasm and application, she is finding effective methods to improve how we think of marine data and how it can be provided. This has real potential to improve safety and reduce costs for offshore wind farms as well as opening new possibilities for autonomous marine systems.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-1521 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/exetermarine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/203\/2021\/02\/Sarah-Nelms-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"356\" height=\"292\" \/>Dr Sarah Nelms<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Sarah is a Postdoctoral Research Associate\u00a0within the University of Exeter\u2019s\u00a0Centre for Ecology and Conservation.

Over the course of 25 years of the Common Fisheries Policy, she found that fisheries ministers set Total Allowable Catches on average a third higher than scientific advice, guaranteeing overfishing and proving their culpability in stock declines.<\/p>\n<p>3) Conducting research which underpinned a motion passed at the World Conservation Congress in Hawaii in 2016, which argues for a new target of 30% of the sea to be protected by 2030 which is now gaining massive political traction.<\/p>\n<p>4) Undertaking pioneering science on the application of marine protected areas to international waters and supporting an ongoing process at the United Nations to amend the Law of the Sea to allow the creation of high seas protected areas.
