Marine Ecosystems
Coupled Physical-Biogeochemical Modeling
We develop models to simulate the nutrient and low-trophic level dynamics in the coastal
ocean to understand the
health of ecosystem



Hypoxia – “Dead Zone”
Bottom dissolved oxygen simulated using a coupled physical-biogeochemical model


Oil Spill at Deepwater Horizon Site
A regional ocean model was used to simulate the tracer field and help interpret its dispersion and temporal evolution.
