I focus on collecting & using observations to understand the distribution & variability of energy & tracers (e.g., heat) in the Arctic Ocean & global ocean.
A lab linking acoustic propagation physics & ocean dynamics with a focus on using wave & medium measurements, theory, & modeling to infer wave physics and/or properties of the medium.
Biogeochemistry of marine sediment, paleoceanography/paleoclimatology, cycling of elements between seawater and sediment, monsoon variability, dust and volcanic ash fluxes, multivariate statistics
We study the microbial ecology of O2-depleted marine water columns & sediments, including the deep biosphere, microbial adaptations to climate change, & symbioses between microorganisms
