I am a chemical oceanographer, environmental scientist, and teacher.  I am currently a faculty at the University of Texas Marine Science Institute.  I value integrity, creativity, responsibility, diversity, and nobility.  I am very interested in research integrity, learning, future, and history.

Research Interests

        Main goals of my research are (1) to better understand physical and biogeochemical processes in the marine environments, and (2) to better delineate the responses of the environment to climate forcing, in various temporal and spatial scales through interdisciplinary approaches. To achieve these goals I utilize physical and chemical analysis methods, analyze large-scale ocean data, and develop conceptual models. I conduct my research in global-, regional-, and local-scales, and emphasize field- and lab-based research. I study ocean circulation and ventilation processes, their temporal variability in response to climate change, and their impacts on biogeochemical processes in the coastal and open oceans.

I conduct my research in the following areas:
1.    Large-scale ocean circulation and climate variability studies
2.    Decadal- and basin-scale ocean data analysis for detecting climate impacts
3.    Large-scale changes in marine biogeochemistry
4.    Regional-scale ocean ventilation and climate variability studies
5.    Coastal ocean observation
6.    Climate-related gas exchange processes at the South Texas salt marsh / wetlands
7.    Anomalous distribution of certain halogenated gas compounds in the ocean
8.    Research for education technology
