Observations and Modeling of the West Florida Continental Shelf Circulation

Abstract

My long-term goal is an improved understanding of how physical processes affect material property distributions on continental shelves. These include biological (red-tide algae and fish larvae), chemical (nutrients), and geological (resuspended sediments) properties, and the physical responses of sea level, currents, temperature and salinity.
