Dr. Antony Joseph, who was formerly Chief Scientist at CSIR―National Institute of Oceanography in India, conducted research in the areas of sea-level and surface meteorological measurements.

Dr. Joseph is the sole author of two Elsevier (New York) books entitled “Tsunamis: Detection, Monitoring, and Early-Warning Technologies”, published in February 2011, and “Measuring Ocean Currents: Tools, Technologies, and Data“, scheduled to be published before October 2013. He was a faculty member at the Indian Academy of Scientific and Innovative Research, wherein he taught the technologies of sea-level and oceanic current measurements.

Presently he is World Bank's Technical Expert to advise and supervise establishment of permanent sea level stations at the Indian Part of Sunderbans for long-term collection of sea level data for climate related studies. Dr. Joseph led the establishment of an in-house-designed sea-level station in Ghana (West Africa) for IOC-UNESCO and provided high-quality data on the arrival of the December 2004 Sumatra tsunami at the central east Atlantic coast, thereby contributing to the understanding of the global extent of this tsunami.

Subsequent to the December 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, Dr Joseph together with a team of colleagues contributed immensely to the establishment of a cost-effective network of cellular-based and Internet-accessible real/near-real time reporting sea-level, sea-state and surface meteorological stations on the Indian coastlines and islands. This contribution enables real/near-real time viewing of these data in a graphical format on the Internet (http://inet.nio.org). The high-resolution time-series data collected by this network are used by several ports, research organizations and universities.
