The Decade Collaborative Centre for Coastal Resilience , together with its Partner Alliance Network (PAN), continues the Coastal Resilience Talks series with an upcoming webinar featuring Salomi Seeram (Coastal Dynamics Limited, Trinidad & Tobago).
The webinar will take place on 26 May 2026 at 14:00 CEST and will focus on the application of numerical modelling to better understand oceanographic processes in Small Island Developing States (SIDS).
Webinar’s Abstract
A 3D Hydrodynamic (HD) model and a Spectral Wave (SW) Model were developed for T&T and the Eastern Caribbean Region. These models were used to provide a comprehensive understanding of the oceanographic conditions around these Small Island Developing States (SIDS). These models are essential for predicting oil spills, coral larvae dispersion, coastal vulnerability, environmental impacts, and for mangrove flushing, helping to mitigate environmental damage, protect marine biodiversity, and enhance coastal resilience.
About the Speaker
Salomi Seeram is a Coastal Scientist at Coastal Dynamics Limited in Trinidad & Tobago, with over seven years of experience working on multidisciplinary projects across the Caribbean. Her work integrates marine sciences, numerical modelling, geospatial analysis, and climate change. She develops and applies hydrologic, hydrodynamic, spectral wave and air dispersion models alongside remote sensing, automated data analysis and web portal/ dashboard development to support environmental assessments, climate risk assessments, monitoring programmes, and other reporting requirements.
