Research Interests:
My recent research has focused on bridging the data and modeling oceanographic communities, with the broad goal of learning more about how our oceans are responding to man’s emissions of carbon dioxide. Examples of recent projects range from refining data assimilating models, improving data-based estimates of alkalinity used for these models, using model output to develop tracers to better detect the effects of ocean acidification, and using model transport estimates to develop novel measurement gridding strategies that take ocean circulation into account. I’ve also worked to refine the ways we measure seawater pH and to use seawater measurements to make sense of the fascinating and dynamic Southern Ocean.
