Research Interests:

I am currently working with Dr. Teresa Chereskin to study the surface-layer circulation of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current as it passes through Drake Passage. We use shipboard acoustic Doppler current profilers to measure surface currents at high spatial resolution and relatively high temporal resolution for the Southern Ocean.
