Primary interests lie in the study and observation of ocean circulation and variability as they relate to the large-scale transport and convergence of mass, heat, freshwater and the ocean&#8217;s nutrient and chemical constituents. This focus supports investigation into the ocean&#8217;s energy budget and chemical cycles and their role in predicting a changing future for the global environment and includes a particular emphasis deep\/abyssal properties and their pathways. Other research includes using natural, anthropogenic, and simulated tracers to understand ocean circulation and mixing.
