Projects
Moored Turbulence Sensors - MODchi
Developing a moored temperature microstructure sensor, and measuring turbulent mixing across the equatorial Pacific cold tongue.
2026Drivers of Oceanic Change in the Amundsen Sea - DECADES
Measuring how warm Circumpolar Deep Water crosses the Antarctic shelf break and is transformed by turbulence on its way toward Pine Island Glacier.
2025Sensing the Ocean with Seafloor Fiber-Optic Cables
Ground-truthing distributed fiber-optic sensing on a telecommunication cable off Madeira against conventional ocean measurements.
2024Mixing Below Tropical Instability Waves - MOTIVE
Evaluating mixing mechanisms and associated turbulent heat fluxes below tropical instability waves near the equator.
2023New England Seamount Chain - Gulf Stream Interactions
What happens when one of the strongest ocean currents on earth encounters a seamount?
2020Boundary Layer Turbulence - BLT
Turbulence and abyssal upwelling in the deep bottom boundary layers.
2019Near-Inertial Shear and Kinetic Energy in the North Atlantic Experiment - NISKINe
ONR-funded project to study the generation, propagation and decay of near-inertial waves in the North Atlantic
2018Propagation of Intra-Seasonal Tropical Oscillations - PISTON
Understanding three-dimensional oceanic processes that may influence the propagation of multi-scale convective systems in the atmosphere
2017Hydraulic Processes in the Samoan Passage
NSF-funded project to study hydraulic processes in the abyssal flow through the Samoan Passage
2015Flow Encountering Abrupt Topography - FLEAT
ONR-funded project to study flow-topography interactions in the vicinity of Palau in the northern tropical Pacific
2012Samoan Passage Abyssal Mixing Experiment
NSF-funded project to study volume transport and mixing processes in the abyssal flow through the Samoan Passage
2010On the Nordic Overturning Circulation
Doctoral thesis on the mid-depth circulation of the Nordic Seas, the dense overflows across the Greenland-Scotland Ridge, and the entrainment that dilutes them downstream.
