Research Interest

General research interests include: air-sea interactions, environmental fluid mechanics and hydraulics of ice covered rivers. My specific interests are in: frazil ice detection, infrared remote sensing of the ocean surface, air-water gas transfer, wave breaking, limnology, wind wave mechanics, air entrainment, and hydraulics. Research currently in progress Studying the flow around fish habitat structures Developing a technique to detect frazil ice particles using an instrument called the Shallow Water Ice Profiling System Investigating the hydraulics of ice-covered rivers Studying strudel scour that is caused by drainage of spring flood waters through holes in the surface of nearshore ice in the Mackenzie River delta Studying of the fluid mechanics of breaking wind waves Studying mixing in water treatment reactors.
