Hello! I’m a research scientist at NOAA OAR’s Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory. As a physical oceanographer in the Ocean and Cryosphere Division I work to understand the patterns and drivers of sea level variability and improve sea level process representation in ocean and climate models. I’m especially interested in sea level along the world’s coastlines and changing nature of extreme events and flooding. My research leverages observational datasets and state-of-the-art ocean and earth system models to link regional sea level change to ocean heat content, water mass transformation, and larger-scale ocean circulation changes. A central goal of my work is building a mechanistic understanding that can imrpove predictions of future states across daily to decadal timescales.
