Arctic-subarctic interaction: 1) circulation and evolution of the Pacific-origin water in the Arctic; 2) water exchange between the Arctic and North Atlantic.

Graduate student/Postdoc opportunities:
If you are interested in polar oceanography -- Arctic/North Atlantic, going on cruises, and closely working with scientists at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution.
Please contact me to chat about opportunities and potential projects.
