The Secretary of the Navy/Chief of Naval Operations Chair in Oceanographic Sciences

Abstract

The overall long-term goals of this work are to facilitate interactions between the academic community and researchers supporting the operating fleet, to accelerate ongoing research, and to enhance the educational value of my teaching of undergraduate and graduate students. The general long-term research objective for this work is to advance understanding and predictive capabilities in three areas: 1) upper ocean physical, bio-optical, and biogeochemical responses to intense wind events including hurricanes and typhoons, 2) coastal optics, physical thermodynamics and dynamics, turbulence, internal gravity waves, sediment transport, and harmful algal blooms, and 3) the physical, bio-optical, and biogeochemical dynamics of ocean mesoscale eddies. The overall educational objective is to contribute to the development of undergraduate and graduate students, especially those who will seek careers in the ocean sciences. The overall transitional objective is to stimulate new interactions among academic and Navy laboratory ocean scientists who support fleet operations.
