Biography
1972 University of New York at Stony Brook B.S. Geology & Mathematics 1991 University of Rhode Island Graduate School of Oceanography Ph.D Oceanography
Research Interest
Remote sensing of sea surface temperature and ocean pigments Remote sensing of dynamic ocean topography and surface waves Biological oceanographic applications of remotely-sensed data Dynamics/kinematics of coastal fronts Air sea interaction The Oceanographic Remote Sensing Laboratory (ORSL) led by Dr. James J. Bisagni, Principal Investigator, is currently studying various coastal physical oceanographic processes and how they relate to productivity in the coastal ocean over various trophic levels from phytoplankton to fisheries. Processes of interest currently include the shelf break front, cross-frontal flows and transport due to eddies and Gulf Stream warm-core rings, wind-driven transport, and the effects of varying freshwater output from arctic regions. Studies usually require analysis of satellite-derived data along with in situ measurements, along with model output.
