Education:
B. A., University of Colorado, 1982
Ph.D., Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution Joint Program in Oceanography, 1987
Research Interests:
Coastal ocean dynamics; coastal marine ecosystems; hypoxia; inner continental shelf dynamics; flow-topography interactions; frontal instability processes; eastern boundary currents and their associated jets and eddies.
Current Research:
High-resolution observations from the inner continental shelf to the adjacent deep ocean in an eastern boundary current upwelling system; influence of physical processes on the formation of low-oxygen (hypoxic) zones on the continental shelf; development of ocean observing systems including a moored autonomous vertical profiling system in collaboration with WET Labs, Inc.
