Ali Siddiqui passed his Graduate Board Oral exam today, an important milestone on the journey towards his PhD. Congratulations Ali!
Carenza Williams joins group
Carenza Williams is joining the group as a PhD student in physical oceanography and ocean modeling. Carenza holds a Masters degree in Earth Sciences from the University of Oxford. Her Masters thesis was on the influence of future climate change on ocean overturning pathways and circulation timescales. Welcome to JHU Carenza!
Inaugural Dr. George S. Benton Postdoctoral Fellow in Oceanographic & Atmospheric Sciences
Dr. Prajvala Kurtakoti joins us this summer. Prajvala is the first Benton Fellow, supported by a generous gift from the family of Dr. George S. Benton. George Benton was a professor of meteorology at JHU for more than 40 years. He was also department chair, Dean of the School of Arts & Sciences, and Vice […]
Using Hydraulic Theory to Monitor Dense Overflows in a Parabolic Channel
Dr. Atousa Saberi, a former graduate student in our group, has published a paper in the Journal of Physical Oceanography. The work is based on her PhD thesis and concerns monitoring of deep overflows, for example through the Faroe Bank Channel. The abstract reads: Deep ocean passages are advantageous sites for long term monitoring of […]
Joan Bonilla Pagan joins group
Joan Bonilla Pagan has started his PhD in our program working on physical oceanography. Joan holds a Bachelor’s degree in Physics and Applied Math from the University of Puerto Rico at Mayaguez, and a Master’s degree in Oceanography from the University of Southampton, UK. He joins our group from a position as an oceanographic and […]
Congratulations Dr. Saberi!
Atousa Saberi has been awarded her PhD in Earth & Planetary Sciences. Atousa’s thesis title is “Kinematics and dynamics of oceanic overflows: Application to the Denmark Strait and Faroe Bank Channel.” A link to the pdf of her thesis is here (or will be available soon).
