TEACHING AND RESEARCH AREAS

My research extends over a range of observational and theoretical topics in oceanography (Thermohaline Circulation, Water Mass Analysis, Wind-Driven Circulation , Air-Sea interaction, Coastal & Estuarine Marine Ecosystems, Marine Systems Simulation Modelling, Sustainable Systems) and specialization in a number of marine areas (Artic, Mediterranean and Black Seas, U.S. Pacific and Atlantic Coasts, Estuaries and Watersheds). My teaching includes, Oceanography, Physical Oceanography, Environmental Science, Scientific Concepts and Global Problems, Simulation Modelling in Earth Systems Science.
