Bio

I am a physical oceanographer interested in the role of the oceans in climate and climate change.  I teach undergraduate and graduate level introductory physical oceanography and help with the undergraduate marine science summer field course.  My group conducts research in exciting regions of the ocean using a combination of cutting-edge data from remote sensing, autonomous ocean gliders, shipboard measurements, and high-resolution models that realistically simulate the small-scale turbulence of the ocean.  I am currently the director of the MEAS honors program.  In my free time I’m an avid surfer and find my inspiration playing in the ocean.
