About
Dr. Kyungsoon Shin is a marine ecotoxicologist whose research focuses on the environmental impacts of maritime operations, particularly the chemical hazards posed by robotic hull in-water cleaning (IWC) discharges. Her most-cited work, "Chemical hazard of robotic hull in-water cleaning discharge on coastal embryonic fish" (2023, 10 citations), investigates how the removal of biofilms and foulants from ship hulls releases harmful chemical contaminants into marine environments, creating localized "hotspots" of pollution. This study provides critical insights into the sublethal and lethal effects of IWC discharge on the early developmental stages of coastal fish, highlighting risks to fisheries and ecosystem health. Dr. Shin’s contributions are vital for informing regulatory frameworks and developing safer cleaning technologies. Her research bridges marine biology, environmental chemistry, and engineering, offering actionable data for policymakers and industry stakeholders. By quantifying the toxicity of these discharges, she underscores the need for sustainable maritime practices. Dr. Shin’s work is essential reading for students and researchers in marine pollution, ecotoxicology, and coastal management, as it addresses a growing environmental challenge in an era of increasing global shipping and biofouling control demands.
