# overview
My research interests include:

(a) Marine chemistry - nutrient cycling in coastal areas, and their use as tracers as a means of identifying large-scale oceanic circulation patterns; the marine iodine cycle.

(b) The physics and chemistry of upwelling areas.

(c) Low oxygen regimes in the ocean.

(d) Marine pollution - oil pollution control methods, particularly dispersant usage.
