The primary area of research is air-sea interaction, including the topics of surface wave dynamics, air-sea fluxes, upper ocean turbulence, including Langmuir circulations, and the remote sensing of ocean surface phenomena using electromagnetic and acoustic techniques.
Oceans and Atmosphere
Ocean-Atmosphere Interactions
The study of the physical, dynamical, and chemical interactions between the oceans and the atmosphere on a variety of scales, as well as their effects on climate, weather, and ecology.
Potential graduate students interested in this topic may want to apply for the Climate, Ocean, and Atmosphere MS and PhD programs or the MAS Climate Science & Policy Program.
