Research Interests: Computational fluid dynamics, and in particular large eddy simulation (LES); deep convection and the formation of bottom water and oceanic 'chimney' structures; ice boundary layers and polynya formation; thermobaric and cabbeling instabilities, arising from nonlinearities in the density of sea water; wave boundary layers, including Langmuir circulation and wave breaking; the response of Lagrangian and semi-Lagrangian drifters to small-scale turbulent convection.
