Education:

Ph.D. 1994, University of Victoria, Victoria BC Canada

B.Sc. 1988, University of Victoria, Victoria BC Canada

Research Emphasis:

Observational studies of coastal ocean mixing and circulation in bottom boundary layers, tidal channels and two layer stratified shear flows. Development and application of high frequency acoustic systems for oceanographic measurement with emphasis on wave propagation in random media (acoustic scintillation).
