          <p>Jon solves large-scale environmental problems using computational
            fluid dynamics and other software
            models. He have a diverse research background that spans ocean
            biogeochemistry, sedimentary
            modelling, biogeography, hazards and tidal dynamics. His primary
            focus is in palaeo-tsunamis
            and palaeo-tides at the moment. You can find out more on <a
