Theses

Ph.D.

Processes Controlling Radon-222 and Radium-226 on the Southeastern Bering Sea Shelf (Dr. William S. Reeburgh, advisor)

M.S. essay

Holocene Beaches of Ancient Lake Cahuilla, Quaternary Tectonic Implications (Dr. Kerry Sieh, advisor)

Major Research Interests

To use satellite data, model results, and shipboard data to elucidate the mechanisms and processes by which the oceans play a major role in the maintenance of the global climate. Satellite data has good spatial, but poor temporal, resolution due to its ``snap-shot'' nature; while model results have good temporal, but poor spatial, resolution due to computational constraints. It is my desire to explore the mathematical techniques necessary to use shipboard data to augment both the models and satellites to make consistent and geophysically correct interpretations of the environment.

Education Participation

I have been on Hedy Edmonds and Maria Hood's pre-general exam advisory committees. In April 1990, Scott Doney added me to his thesis advisory committee, in August 1991 he successfully defended his thesis. I have given advice and help to Nathalie Waser in her preparation of a proposal to NASA for one of their graduate student fellowships (Spring 1990). E. Maria Hood added me to her thesis committee in 1997 and she successfully defended in Sep. 1997. Claudia Benitez=Nelson added me to her thesis committee in spring 1997 and plans to defend in fall 1998. I teach the MIT/WHOI Joint Program course 12.747 (Modeling, Data Analysis, adn Numerical Techniques for Geochemistry) every other Fall. I have participated informally through numerous discussions on numerical modeling, computer programming and applications of mathematical techniques with students. These have been in the form of informal tutorials involving Tom Trull (Ph.D., 1989), Scott Doney (Ph.D., 1991), Nathalie Waser (Ph.D., 1993), Billy Spitzer (Ph.D., 1988), Kathleen Ledyard (Ph.D., 1992), Sarah Green (Ph.D., 1992), Hedy Edmonds (Ph.D. 1996), E. Maria Hood (Ph.D., 1997), Elizabeth Minor (Ph.D., 1998), Claudia Benitez-Nelson, Timothy Kenna, Liz Kujawinski, and Kathy Barbeau
