Field Research
I have conducted oceanographic measurements at sea using a wide range of vessels ranging in length from 30 to 300 feet and for periods of hours to weeks. I began my seagoing career as a graduate student attending cruises off northern California and in the Yellow and East China Seas. I have worked off both the east and west coasts of the United States, and in the Southern Ocean south of New Zealand.
