Marine and Coastal Environmental Science

# overview
I am a coastal physical oceanographer and numerical model developer. My research focuses on the transport and exchange of materials between coastal bays, shelf seas, and deep ocean using in situ measurements, remote sensing data, and idealized and realistic numerical models. I am especially interested in how coastal systems respond to and recover from extreme weather events such as hurricanes. Other previous research topics include: flooding during storm events, impact of sea-level rise and climate warming, cross-shelf exchange induced by meso-scale eddies, physical control on coastal hypoxia, transport of fish larvae and pollutants, sediment transport, etc.
