Bio
I am a marine ecologist by training. I am interested in observing, understanding, and predicting changes in the ocean and the Earth System. My current research involves the use of remote sensing and in situ observations, numerical ocean physical-biogeochemical models, and state-of-the-art data assimilation techniques to improve the predictive skills of ocean biogeochemical and carbon cycles.
