Dr. Steve Mihaly is a physical oceanographer with Ocean Networks Canada responsible for the ‘Ocean/Climate Dynamics and Effects on Marine Biota’. His interests include topographically modified flow around hydrothermal vents, coastal circulation and bio-physical interactions, and tsunamis. Steve will be placing the water property and dynamical variables collected over a broad spatial range on this … Continued
Steve Romaine is the head of the Water Properties Group at the Institute of Ocean Sciences, which provides oceanographic support to research missions in the Pacific and Arctic regions. This includes sampling protocols for dissolved oxygen, nutrients, salinities, and electronic measurements using CTD units. Steve has a M.Sc. in biological oceanography from the University of … Continued
Professor Stephanie Waterman is a physical oceanographer and a new faculty member in the Department of Earth, Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences at the University of British Columbia. Her research interests are in combining observational and theoretical oceanography to better understand how different components of ocean circulation, operating at different time and length scales, interact, and … Continued
Professor Susan Allen is a physical oceanographer. Trained as a physicist, applied mathematician and fluid dynamicist, her early, and one of her continuing focuses, is the dynamics of rotating flow over topography with a particular emphasis on submarine canyons. Using theory, laboratory experiments, and numerical simulations, and collaborating with observationalists, she has generated an overall … Continued
Richard is a Physical Oceanographer, specializing in coastal oceanography, upwelling, fronts, tides, currents, and mixing. He is the Associate Director, Science with Ocean Networks Canada, and over the past 30 years has been on over 100 oceanographic missions and deployed more than 150 mooring platforms. During this Falkor “Pathways” expedition (FK009A), Richard will be the … Continued
Dr. Stéphane Gauthier is a research scientist with Fisheries and Oceans Canada. His main research focus is using acoustics (the transmission and interpretation of signals from scientific echosounders) to gain insight into ecosystem processes. Before joining Fisheries and Oceans Canada in 2011 he was a fisheries scientist with the National Institute of Water and Atmospheric … Continued
