Research Assistant Professor
Faculty
Areas of Expertise:
Climate change
Data management and analysis
Oceanography
Sea ice
IARC projects I'm involved with:
Nansen and Amundsen Basins Observational System
Centered on Arctic Ocean dynamics, I study several trace elements to assess their utility as indicators of circulation and biogeochemical processes. At the University of Alaska Fairbanks, I research biogeochemical cycling of nutrients, tracers of water mass mixing, and the connectivity between the sea ice system and the water column. I’m further interested in how the broad Arctic Ocean continental margins influence oceanographic biogeochemical cycles and the connectivity of the land-sea interface.
