Research Interests

Coastal Oceanography: Analysis and synthesis of the physics, biology, and chemistry of the coastal ocean, using observations collected with high-speed sampling and analysis systems.

Mesoscale Surface Ocean Processes: Analysis and synthesis of the physics, biology, and chemistry of the surface ocean, using observations collected with high-speed sampling and analysis systems.

Analytical Environmental Chemistry: Development of sensors and systems for high-speed and robust measurement of ocean chemistry.

Benthic Biogeochemistry: In situ field measurements of sediment pore water chemistry and numerical models of transport and chemical kinetics in sediments.
