Physical Oceanography
My research mainly focuses in problems related to sediment
transport, including the redistribution of sediment containing harmful
algal blooms, the dynamics of cohesive sediment in the water column and
in the bed, and the effects of storm events in sediment dynamics.
Another important focus is the investigation of the processes controlling
water level in coastal environments including tidal effects, storm
events and sea level rise. My interests also include the study of surface salinity variability, baroclinic processes, frontal dynamics, upwelling events, and the interaction between continental shelf circulation and larger scale currents. Some of the tools used for this work include numerical ocean models and data assimilation.
