Amelia Couldrey Email & Phone Number

Amelia Couldrey is a Chartered Marine Scientist (CMarSci(Oceanography) MIMarEST) and a coastal and oceanographic scientist at HR Wallingford, specialising in marine scour. Amelia has a PhD from the University of Southampton, UK, where her research focused on quantifying the temporal variability of scour around shipwrecks utilising multibeam bathymetry time-series.Amelia has experience in managing, collating and presenting multiple sources of bathymetric data (e.g. historical nautical charts, singlebeam bathymetry, LiDAR and multibeam bathymetry) using both GIS (ArcGIS and QGIS) and programming (MATLAB) techniques.At HR Wallingford, Amelia has worked on various commercial and research projects around the UK, USA, Baltic, Mediterranean and Southeast Asia that examine scour around submerged structures (windfarm platforms, pipelines, cables, rock berms, UXO and bridge piers) and methods for mitigating scour (e.g. rock protection, concrete mattresses, artificial seagrass mats and rock bags) in both shallow waters (less than 10 m) and coastal waters (10-80 m). She has delivered morphological surveys of whole wind farm sites to support effective asset management in complex area, e.g. coastal sandbank systems.Amelia has run a number of in-house programs to facilitate the design of coastal amenities including beach resorts, desalination plants, a brine outflow and a nuclear power plant. Amelia has been part of the physical modelling team on a number of projects in one of the world’s largest marine test facilities, the Fast Flow Facility (http://www.hrwallingford.com/facilities/fast-flow-facility). In this flume, which offers waves, tidal currents and sediment capabilities, the team have performed pioneering research into alternative scour protection strategies (e.g. frond mats, http://www.hrwallingford.com/news/scottishpower-renewables-commissions-scour-protection-modelling-for-east-anglia-one) and the design of complex seabed structures (e.g. jacket foundations, goo.gl/Ng4yZP) . Amelia is a Science Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) ambassador and has taken up the role as a First Aider and Mental Health First Aider, through a new mental health awareness initiative which she is particularly proud of. She is actively involved in charity, social and sporting activities that the company has to offer.

Listed skills include Oceanography, Arcgis, Field Work, Matlab, and 9 others.
