estuaries and coastal seas. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to, ocean-atmosphere
interactions, ocean mixing processes, sediment transport processes including quantitative
geomorphology, land-ocean interaction, polar/fjord dynamics and interdisciplinary studies that
couple physical and biogeochemical processes in estuarine and coastal environments. The
