A principal thrust of my current research is the use of measured optical properties (absorption, scattering and attenuation) in-situ and inverted from Ocean Color remote sensing to obtain the bulk properties of the matter in the ocean (e.g. particulate size distribution, composition). Theoretical studies (Mie and T-matrix methods) are used to investigate dependencies that are tested with data obtained in the field. These properties are then used to increase our understanding of the transformation of materials within the ocean

In alphabetical order: biological-physical interactions, geophysical fluid dynamics, marine optics (remote sensing as well as inversion of optical properties to obtain particulate and dissolved properties), mesoscale (fronts, jets, and eddies) dynamics, mixed-layer dynamics, science teaching methodology.
