Biography
I am an interdisciplinary oceanographer with a primary research focus on physical-biological interactions in hotspots of rapid change, using in-situ measurements from ships, global observing system data, and models. I am particularly interested in how glacial meltwater and sea ice cover changes affects phytoplankton growth in coastal Greenland and the Southern Ocean, and in how changing Gulf Stream dynamics influences primary productivity south of Cape Cod on the U.S. northeast continental shelf and slope. I joined the WHOI Applied Ocean Physics & Engineering department as a postdoctoral scholar in 2019, and joined the scientific staff in 2021.
