Research Interests

My research has primarily been focused on boundary-layer meteorology, in particular processes influencing the air-sea exchange of sensible and latent heat and carbon dioxide. I have mainly been using empirical micro-meteorological methods, e.g. eddy-correlation measurements. During my time at RSMAS I will be working with Will Drennan's group analysing data from two recent field experiments aimed at improving the parameterization of the air-sea CO2 flux: Deep Ocean Gas Exchange Experiment (DOGEE) and Southern Ocean Gas Exchange Experiment (SOGEE).
