Seismic Oceanography

Investigation of the oceanic water column using seismic methods.  I am particularly interested in quantifying oceanic mixing.

Research is what drives me.  I am motivated by doing work that no one has done before, earning results that take careful consideration.  Often I find the most fun I’ve had in a given week is the time I am up early, or late, writing code or trying to find just the right way to communicate results. 

While in Wyoming I have engaged in a number of other research projects including:

1. -Optimal pre-stack depth imaging
   

1. -Bathymetry / flow interaction along the Hudson Canyon
   

1. -High-frequency acoustic imaging of the water column at hydrothermal vents
   

1. -Mapping Adriatic bottom water flows
   

1. -Determining sediment thickness for
   

  USGS / Law of the Sea programs

1. -Estimating velocity of solitary non-linear internal waves from seismic data
   

1. -Examining heat flow across the
   

   seafloor in the Axial valley

Cascadia Subduction

My work focuses on crustal imaging, seismic inversion, and acquisition parameters with a developing interest in lithosphere mechanics
