I am a computational oceanographer, climate scientist, and hobby glaciologist. My main interest is understanding the general circulation of the ocean, the dynamics of the marine (and marine-terminating) cryosphere, and their role in the global climate system. I use inverse methods involving adjoints and Hessians, applied to ocean and ice model parameter and state estimation, uncertainty quantification, and quantitative observing system design.
