Research Opportunities (Ph.D. and M.S.) in Ocean
Modeling and Prediction:
I welcome applications to the Rutgers University Graduate
Program in Oceanography to undertake research in the general fields
of:
- High-resolution
regional modeling of the coastal ocean for applications related to
coupled physical/ecosystem/bio-optical processes, including analysis
and
evaluation using satellite and in situ observations.
- Coastal ocean carbon cycling
- Software engineering for implementing
real-time ocean forecast systems
- Variational
methods for assimilating coastal observing system data in models, and
observing system design.
