Research Statement
RESEARCH INTERESTS:
Transport and exchange processes in oceanic and atmospheric flows;
effects of transport processes on redistribution of physical, chemical and biological tracers in the ocean and atmosphere;
Lagrangian approach to studying transport, ocean and atmosphere dynamics;
dynamical systems theory;
Hamiltonian dynamics;
stochastic PDEs.
My approaches span a large range from field studies to numerical modeling to theory, and applications of my research span a large range of scales, from sub-mesoscale to basin-scales.
