Application of Remote Sensing and High Resolution Models to the Coastal Oceans
Dr. Jorge Vazquez (primary advisor) Dr. Dimitris Menemenlis (collaborator) The opportunity seeks a qualified post-rodoctal candidate to apply remote sensing data and high resolution models to the coastal regions. Overall goal is to better understand the processes leading to coastal upwelling and and the temporal and spatial variability from the seasonal to climate scale.
