Victoria Coles, Ph.D.

Location:

Horn Point Laboratory

Research Topics:

Modeling and Analysis , Physical Oceanography

Research Interests:

My research uses models and data to understand ocean response and feedback to climate variability. I also study the role of ocean ecosystems in setting large scale ocean biogeochemistry and its response to climate variability and change.
