I am a Scientist at the National Center for Atmospheric Research working in the Oceanography Section of the Climate & Global Dynamics Laboratory. I serve as Co-Chair of the Ocean Model Working Group (OMWG) of the Community Earth System Model (CESM) and lead the development of the Modular Ocean Model version 6 (MOM6) within the CESM framework.

My research interests include:

• Ocean model development and parameterization;
• The role of the ocean in the Earth system;
• Ice/ocean interactions and their effects on sea level and climate;
• Mesoscale eddy dynamics and ocean transport;
• Coastal and regional ocean modeling.

I am an active member of the CLIVAR Ocean Model Development Panel (OMDP), which coordinates international efforts to advance ocean model development, and of the OceanPredict Coupled Prediction Task Team, an international initiative to improve global and regional ocean analysis and forecasting systems.
