Research Overview

My research focus is on continental shelf processes of ÀÖ»¢Ö±²¥â€™s 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 ÀÖ»¢Ö±²¥ 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 ÀÖ»¢Ö±²¥ 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 ÀÖ»¢Ö±²¥-region marine waters.
