Research Interests - Determination of physical processes affecting circulation in both coastal and deep-ocean environments utilizing long-term current meter moorings and ctd's, often as part of interdisciplinary studies. Results have been presented to a wide audience by publications in journals, symposia proceedings, and technical reports, and by presentations at scientific and environmental management meetings. I retired from NOAA in 1998, but I am continuing collaborations through the School of Oceanography both in Puget Sound and the North Pacific. I also am working on a history of pre-1900 charting of Puget Sound.

Research in the past ten years focused on circulation around the Juan de Fuca Ridge showing topographic steering of flow that disperses hydrothermal plumes into the general circulation. This work included the first long-term deployments of a bottom-mounted ADCP and of a RAFOS float in hydrothermal vent fields, and large-scale observations of the upper ocean of the northeast Pacific.

Prior research on estuaries focused on deep-water renewal in Puget Sound and on the influence of coastal storms on circulation in the Strait of Juan de Fuca, both applicable to regional growth. This work included the first major uses of modern current meters in the Puget Sound system. Other research was on coastal circulation and flow in submarine canyons, and included organizing a U.S.-China interdisciplinary study of the Yangtze River, a fjord conference in Norway, an interdisciplinary estuarine workshop in Woods Hole, and a UW-NOAA estuarine seminar series. Research cruises have been on WHOI's old Atlantis to NOAA's modern Ron Brown, and have occurred in the North Pacific, Puget Sound, China, and earlier in Chesapeake Bay, the western Pacific and the Gulf Stream.

My wife, Carole, and I live in Seattle and have two children, Robyn and Wendy, and four grandchildren, Ryan, Nicholas, Emily, and Alexander.
