Kaplan Yalcin is the Assistant Dean for Academic Programs. In this position, Yalcin advises and works closely with leadership in matters concerning enrollment, staffing, and budget projections for both our on-campus and online degree programs. Yalcin coordinates such efforts with academic program heads to ensure that the quality of individual courses and curricula remain our highest priority even as we seek greater efficiency. Yalcin also acts as a liaison with affiliated units across campus. He earned his Ph.D.

My research involves the physics of the nearshore coastal ocean including waves, currents, and sediment transport. I'm interested in using new observational and modeling tools to understand and make predictions of these processes --- often using a probabilistic approach owing to the dynamic/complex nature of the problem.
Examples:
Large-scale / long-term climate and atmospheric dynamics
Climate variability and change
Climate impacts and responses in natural and human-managed systems
Climate science; atmospheric general circulation; coupled atmosphere-ocean-ice processes; modern, future, and paleoclimate dynamics; polar climatology; statistical methods; climate and nature; climate and society; interactions across time and space scales; kinetic, thermodynamic, and integrated perspectives on climate variability and change processes
