Oceanography
Oceanography is an interdisciplinary science that uses insights from biology, chemistry, geology, meteorology, and physics to analyze ocean currents, marine ecosystems, ocean storms, waves, ocean plate tectonics, and features of the ocean floor, including exotic biomes such as cold seeps and hydrothermal vents.

You may have heard of the ocean's impact on climate through such phenomena as El Niño, but did you realize that many greenhouse gases are strongly affected by processes within the ocean? The marine cycles of carbon dioxide and related chemical species like oxygen, nitrogen and phosphorus, are my main professional preoccupation. Working with me you will get to explore these and other marine biogeochemical cycles by building computer models, analyzing large data sets and making observations at sea. More information.
