Research

As part of the cDrake project, we will be calculating the transport of the ACC through the Drake Passage using data from an array of Current and Pressure Recoding Inverted Echo Sounders (CPIES) and current meter moorings. The instruments were deployed in November 2007 and will be recovered in 2011. During the summer of 2006, I participated in the Kuroshio Extension System Study recovery cruise as part of the SURFO program at GSO. My research focused on comparisons between sea surface height measurements from CPIES and satellite altimeters. As an undergraduate at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, I used acoustic doppler current profilers to study sediment transport in the upper Hudson River.
