My research focuses on the physical oceanography of the continental margins, where shelf-scale processes can have complicated interactions with topography and stratification at the nearshore boundary as well as the shelfbreak. My current observational work focuses on the response of the coastal ocean to near-resonant forcing by sea breeze and land breeze near the critical latitude for diurnal/inertial resonance. Other aspects of heating and cooling of shelf water appear to have significant diurnal variability, making air-sea interaction another area of interest. Future work will investigate many of these processes using coupled and uncoupled circulation and air-sea interaction models in addition to observational studies.

I apologize for the shell, but the important things are here:
