Research Activites:
Interdisciplinary oceanographic and environmental problems including: upper ocean dynamics, bio-optics, ecology, biogeochemistry and global climate change (greenhouse effect), coastal water pollution, bottom boundary layers, and sediment resuspension. Recent efforts have emphasized studies of physical/biological processes and interactions on time scales from minutes to the interannual, yet some of our work retains focus on fundamental physics at the air-sea interface and in the upper and bottom layers of the ocean. Our group is studying both open and coastal ocean domains simultaneously. We continue to expand both disciplinary and interdisciplinary efforts toward multi-platform (in situ an d remote sensing) observational networks for science, monitoring, and modeling with application to coastal pollution and global climate change. Our work often involves innovative development and use of new technologies. An important aspect of our work h as concerned the development of instrumentation and techniques for linking in situ and remote sensing observations, particularly through use of mooring-based measurements for groundtruthing (calibration/validation) ocean color satellite sensors.

Co-Director of the Carbon Modeling Consortium

Sayre Hall, Forrestal Campus
PO Box CN710
Princeton, NJ 08544-0710
Research Interests
1) Using models and observations to determine the oceanic uptake of carbon dioxide produced by fossil fuel burning and deforestation. A carbon measurement program has recently been completed in the Atlantic, Pacific, Indian, and Southern Oceans.
2) Predictions of future atmospheric carbon dioxide levels including the possible effects of changes in ocean circulation and biology resulting from global warming or from direct human intervention. The coupled atmosphere-ocean-ocean biogeochemistry models developed for this purpose show a large potential impact of greenhouse warming on the ocean carbon cycle.
3) Use of atmospheric general circulation models constrained with atmospheric CO2 observations to estimate transport of CO2 in the atmosphere and the spatial distribution of anthropogenic carbon uptake by the terrestrial biosphere.
4) Development of biogeochemical process models of photosynthetic uptake of inorganic carbon and the fate of organic carbon as it is cycled through ocean ecosystems back to inorganic carbon or buried in sediments.
5) Observational and model studies of ocean circulation based on chemical tracer observations such as radiocarbon.
6) Determining the causes of the reduced atmospheric carbon dioxide levels of the last ice age, including studies of the sensitivity of atmospheric carbon dioxide levels to changes in ocean biology.
