I am a coastal physical oceanographer studying how circulation, mixing, and fronts organize the transport and transformation of coastal waters. I am particularly interested in how coastal dynamics vary across space and time, creating preferred pathways, regions of intense exchange and mixing, and localized accumulation of tracers.

I investigate these questions across estuaries, estuary–shelf systems, and coastal oceans using observations, numerical models, and Lagrangian approaches. I use these tools to develop and test physical hypotheses about where water and tracers go, how long they remain, and why particular pathways emerge. By connecting these processes to hypoxia, harmful algal blooms, eDNA, biogeochemical cycling, and ecosystem connectivity, my work links fundamental coastal physics to biological and environmental consequences.
