He has a B.S. from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo and a Ph.D. jointly awarded by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. He has wide-ranging interests, studying the physical response of the coastal ocean, estuaries, and lakes to atmospheric forcing such as wind and heating. Lately his work has focused on the response large lakes to climate change, and developing a better understanding of the role that ice plays in determining the structure of lakes.
