Of course, we also spend some of our time exploring other interests outside of our four main interest groups.

Many of these other interests are related to the fact that we sit in an Earth and Environmental Sciences department, with colleagues whose research collectively spans a broad range of fields. We will post results from these new projects as they are published.  Some of the topics that we have covered in this category include: tsunamis, the Chicxulub impact megatsunami, abyssal hill statistics, deep-time evolution of the Earth/Moon/ocean tidal system, and the potential role of ocean tides in Earth’s oxygenation. The paper from my physics honors BS project is also placed here because it doesn’t fit in any of the four main categories.

Our research focuses on the use of numerical models to better understand the dynamics and energy budgets of both wind- and tidally-forced flows in the ocean.
