We create realistic numerical simulations of the ocean circulation and biogeochemistry of coastal and estuarine waters (Fig. 1). These are used in a variety basic and applied studies, exploring climate change, ocean acidification, harmful algal blooms, river plume dynamics, and flow over rough topography. Please visit the links at the left for details of specific projects.
