Research Interests<\/h3>\nMy research focuses on the physical mechanisms of exchange and stirring over the continental shelf.\nUnderstanding the scales of vertical and horizontal mixing that bound the across-shelf movement of water and particles is a fundamental problem in coastal oceanography that has been limited by a lack of detailed observations to both evaluate theory and models and provide guidance for scientific progress. I use in situ and remotely sensed observations to expand our knowledge of turbulent coastal flows and the processes that govern exchange across the shelf. \u00a0These processes define the characteristics — the temperature and salinity, the nutrient and pollutant concentrations, the retention of ocean life — of the natural system present in the coastal ocean.\nExchange and stirring processes in the coastal ocean are small signals in a noisy, dynamic environment that require sustained observations to unravel. \u00a0I develop new tools to measure the coastal ocean and atmosphere and operate long term observatories to provide these measurements for both myself and others. The data I collect is a key component of our collective efforts to monitor the changing coastal zone and evaluate the implications of these changes on ocean ecosystems and ocean users.\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\tDownload CV\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t
