Research

I am a Physical Oceanographer studying coastal ocean processes both from an observational and a modeling perspective. My interests include the study of baroclinic processes, frontal dynamics, upwelling events, and the interaction between continental shelf circulation and Western Boundary Currents such as the Gulf Stream. Some of the tools used for this work include numerical ocean models and data assimilation. This research forms part of the scientific application of recently developed coastal ocean observing and prediction systems such as SEACOOS (www.seacoos.org). To learn more about my work:
