Onur Kurum
Founder and senior technical modeller
Onur is the founder of Applied MetOcean, with a coastal engineering practice focused on storm surge, waves, hydrodynamics, morphodynamics, compound flooding, climate-risk modelling and geospatial analysis. His work connects numerical modelling, spatial data, sediment and shoreline response, flood-risk assessment, offshore and coastal infrastructure, technical review and decision support.
He leads the geospatial side of Applied MetOcean, including GIS-based analysis, spatial data processing, model input preparation, mapping, and the translation of numerical model results into decision-ready spatial outputs. His prior consulting and research experience spans more than a decade of high-stakes coastal, metocean, sediment, flood-risk and infrastructure studies.
