Observations and Modeling of the West Florida Continental Shelf Circulation
Abstract
My long-term goal is to contribute toward the understanding of how physical processes affect the distribution of material properties on the continental shelf. These include biological factors such as red-tide algae and fish larvae, chemical factors such as nutrients that promote phytoplankton blooms, and geological factors such as sediment resuspension that affects both inherent optical properties within the water column and erosion/accretion on the bottom, and the physical responses themselves that affect the currents and sea level responses to storms.
