About
Hector Marin Moreno works at the interface between environmental geoscience, geophysics, and geotechnics in the marine environment.
He is interested in a range of topics including solutions to accelerate the green energy transition from offshore renewables, climate change mitigation techniques, and natural greenhouse gas emissions from marine sources.
His main research focuses on climate and human-induced abiotic changes in marine sediments. He develops and apply analytical and numerical modelling techniques at different spatial (grain-core-basin) and temporal scales (seconds to centuries) to explore the behaviour of the non-living part below our oceans. Applications include naturally induced methane emissions from gas hydrates and geological CO2 storage.
Currently, he is also working on optimizing the value of geoscience information to reduce the time and costs of offshore soil investigations, ultimately, to accelerate the green energy transition. He is exploring hybrid physics-based and data-driven solutions for joint processing and interpretation of geophysical and geotechnical data in offshore wind developments.
