Research Areas   Research Tools  
  • Air-Sea Exchange—gas and heat, biogeochemical cycling, rainfall
  • Coastal—rivers, tidal flats, nearshore
  • Ocean/Atmosphere—climate change, ocean circulation, atmospheric rolls, hurricanes
  • Sensors—microwave, infrared, laser, hydrophone, dissolved gas
  • Waves—wave breaking, internal waves

Our remote sensing tools span a wide range of scales — from satellite remote sensing, to field experiments using surface and airborne platforms, and to laboratory experiments in wave tanks. Remote sensing instruments used include electro-optical sensors (microwave, infrared, and laser) and acoustic sensors (sonars and hydrophones).
