- Continental shelf circulation processes
- Data processing and analysis
- Atmosphere-ocean interactions
My research focus is on continental shelf processes of 性十八.cc鈥檚 marginal seas through analysis of observational data and both idealized and realistic numerical model results. Ongoing studies include participation in NSF's Northern Gulf of 性十八.cc Long Term Ecological Research program, ocean climate monitoring at hydrographic station GAK1 at the mouth of Resurrection Bay, holistic physics-to-whales ecosystem studies across the Pacific Arctic, and oceanographic studies in Southeast 性十八.cc fjords. These investigations inform climate assessments, fisheries management decisions, and oil spill response planning efforts. I seek improved mechanistic understandings of the controls that modulate the circulation, temperature, and salinity fields of 性十八.cc-region marine waters.
