The Nicholson lab applies sensor-based observations & numerical models to understand & predict the flow of carbon & related elements through the ocean in the context of a changing climate.
I study ocean & climate variability of the relatively recent past (especially the last 140,000 years, the last glacial maximum, the last deglaciation, the preindustrial Holocene, & last century).
My research integrates advanced signal processing and ocean acoustics, including sonar, to extract source localization, seafloor structure, and ocean acoustic features in complex underwater settings.
I study the processes that determine the fluctuations & distribution of coastal marine bottom organisms such as barnacles & lobsters, with emphasis on how biological-physical interactions.
