I am an oceanographer interested in the physics of the oceans. My primary area of research pertains to upper ocean turbulence and how dynamics at small horizontal scales in the ocean (1-10 km) can modify energy, buoyancy, and tracer exchanges between the ocean and atmosphere. This research is accomplished through a careful analysis of observations, models, and theories of the ocean.
