Physical Oceanographer
I am an Oceanographer at the Applied Physics Laboratory at the University of Washington . I study processes that occur at the interface between the ocean and the atmosphere. These processes influence the movement and mixing of heat, salt, momentum and biogeochemical tracers in the upper ocean and are essential for understanding how the ocean and atmosphere communicate. This is a multi-scale problem, understanding how small-scale mixing and movement integrate to influence the weather and climate systems.
