My research group works to understand the processes controlling air-sea exchange of carbon dioxide, oxygen, and inert gases using numerical models and data. We would like to better quantify the impacts of ocean dynamics and ecosystem processes on air-sea fluxes of climactically - important gases, and through this understanding, contribute to improved quantification of the ocean CO₂ sink.

Nature Reports Climate Change has highlighted our recent article on the impact of hurricanes on the ocean carbon sink. (Click here)
