Marius Dewar Email & Phone Number

Marius is recognised for his external collaborations and scientific leadership in the UK and Europe, particularly in the field of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) risk assessment and impacts. As a senior scientist in the Marine Systems Modelling Group at PML, he specialises in developing marine monitoring and verification (MMV) tools and strategies through numerical modelling.Marius has an excellent impact and publication record for his career stage. His first paper, a highly cited early work in the field, has been referenced in several policy documents. This research was extended in the STEMM-CCS project and led to additional funding for projects such as MOET, SMART-AUVs, ACTOM, MIDST-UK, HEMOI-ML, amongst others. His work on hypersaline releases in the Pre-ACT project resulted in a first-author invited paper in a special issue of IJGGC, recognized as a high-impact paper. This paper earned him the PML Excellence in Scientific Publishing award in 2023 and secured funding from the UKCCSRC, as well as a commissioned monitoring review from the NEP to BEIS. He is also frequently requested to review papers and guest edit journals.Marius has successfully collaborated across PML, NERC, and UK research councils, with partners across Europe and the globe, working with various stakeholders, including policymakers, operators, regulators, and the public. He serves as Project Lead in the HEMOI-ML and MIDST-UK projects and as Institute and Work Package Leader in the SMART AUV’s project, developed from the STEMM-CCS and ACTOM projects, where he played a key role in developing the PLUME model and Decision Support Tool (DST). He has also expanded his expertise into other areas such as brine release impacts, Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR), wind farm impacts, and the use of Machine Learning (ML) to enhance modelling capabilities. He is leading the HEMOI-ML project to bridge the gap between model outputs and high-resolution temporal fluctuations. Additionally, he is involved in several other collaborative projects and upcoming proposals.He has given numerous webinars and presented at international meetings and conferences to academics, policymakers, managers, and user groups. He regularly chairs PML’s modellers group meetings, and conference sessions, presents at seminars, and expands his networks through the PML Science to Impact and Seminar Committees. He also enjoys mentoring students and early career researchers, currently co-supervising two master’s students, and has previously co-supervised a PhD student.
