This is the Broadband Acoustics Lab at the University of Connecticut. Our group is motivated by the rapid changes occurring in the coastal oceans, particularly those found at high-latitudes. Our work spans the fields of underwater acoustics, physical oceanography, and polar science. 

Broadly, we characterize the changes occurring coastal waters by combining active acoustic observations (echosounders) with in-situ measurements (CTDs, water sampling) and theoretical acoustic scattering models. This includes the study of marine-terminating glaciers, thermohaline structure, gas bubbles, and fluid emissions. 

One of our current objectives is to better quantify the interactions between the marine and terrestrial systems at the ice-ocean interface of marine-terminating glaciers.
