Active Research Interests
Coastal ocean modeling requires a combination of the interpretation of coastal oceanographic data, mostly current and hydrographic data, combined with applying and developing numerical models of the ocean circulation. Beyond improving our understanding o
Improving our ability to sample the ocean is crucial for learning new things about the ocean. I have been working with coastal observatories for a few years now and am presently working on integrating new sensor systems on gl
Past Research Interests
For the past few years, I have been working in St. George’s Bay in Nova Scotia, where we deployed moorings and drifters in support of a study on the drift of larval lobster. This collaborative work with biologists from Dalhousie University is continu
Special Equipment and Facilities
I have a variety of oceanographic equipment, including CTDs, current meters, current mooring hardware, towed vehicles such as the Chelsea NuShuttle, acoustic backscatter instruments and other common physical oceanographic instrumentation. We regularly dep
Emerging Research Interests
As always there are various new projects underway or under consideration. We are presently applying for funding to expand our glider funding. We will be working on the navigation and sensor integration over the next couple of years with field testing to b
There is a recently funded national marine environmental prediction program in which we are interested in developing a smart profiling buoy that will monitor shelf conditions at a fixed location without drifting away. This project will pose some interesti
We are now developing plans for some new oceanographic sampling in Lake Melville and applying a high-resolution coastal model that includes sea-ice.
I have been working with colleagues in Spain on the carbon sequestration in coastal waters, looking at a particular site on the Spanish coast where we will be collecting regular survey data and
