Eyes on the
Ocean Surface

Our observational backbone spans autonomous underwater vehicles, ship-based CTD surveys, moored buoy arrays, and multi-source satellite remote sensing.

Shelf Exchange &
Gulf Stream

We study Gulf Stream intrusions, shelf–ocean heat exchange, and biogeochemical cascades, combining high-resolution numerical models with data assimilation.

Into the Dark —
Deep-Sea Dynamics

Working with DSV Alvin and deep-sea profiling floats, we measure thermohaline structure, turbulence, and biogeochemical fluxes from the pycnocline to the abyssal plain.

Physics + AI —
Reliable Prediction

We fuse physics-based numerical models with machine learning — neural operators, PINNs, and deep-learning emulators — to produce skillful, interpretable ocean forecasts.
