I am interested in understanding the mechanisms that control circulation and transport in the coastal ocean. The coastal ocean includes the inner-shelf, nearshore, surfzone, and estuaries - all of which are controlled by different dynamics. My research focuses on understanding how these regions are connected. This involves understanding the different important spatial and temporal scales and identifying the relative contributions of winds, waves (surface and internal), tides, river discharge, and subtidal circulation patterns.
