Introduction

I'm an ocean scientist who generally develops methods to make the most of the imperfect numerical models/theories and the sparse/aliased observations we have of the ocean. My research has taken two trajectories: 1) I have studied the interactions between the ocean and other components of the Earth system by developing numerical models and running experiments and 2) I have advanced the reconstruction of the ocean’s historical conditions by understanding the information provided by various observing systems about difficult-to-observe quantities of interest. I currently apply these lines of work to the development of data products, forecasting systems, and enhancement of observing systems.
