Research Areas
My research combines numerical models, field observations, satellite data, and machine learning to understand how polar oceans are changing and how those changes affect glaciers, ecosystems, and coastal environments.
Greenland Projects
Regional Greenland Ocean Models
Regional ocean models provide efficient ways to explore glacier-ocean processes at fine scale.

Argo Floats in Greenland
Autonomous profiling floats on the Greenland shelf provide invaluable information on heat variability near the ice sheet.

Oceans Melting Greenland
NASA's OMG mission ran from 2015-2021 to measure changes in glacier thickness, the geometry of Greenland's fjords, and oceanographic variability near the glaciers.

Pan-Arctic Modeling
To support NASA's SASSIE mission, I created an Arctic-wide simulation of ocean circulation 2014-2020. Dr. Marie Zahn at JPL did a huge amount of work to quality control this model output and prepare it for public release.

Chukchi Sea Modeling
To explore anomalous freshwater in the Chukchi Sea during late summer 2024, I created a model configuration to test different processes.

diagnostics_vec
diagnostics_vec is a package for MITgcm to output model diagnostics on user-defined regions of the model grid. Its designed with downscaled modeling in mind but useful for a wide range of applications.
