Research Focus FY08:
Depth profiles of CSM1.4 model output along the A16 transect showing RMS variability (1&3963;) for (a) model dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) output, (b) ΔC*, (c) multiple linear regression (MLR), and (d) extended multiple linear regression (eMLR) calculated using years 101-450 of the 1000 year control run. ΔC* is calculated in isopycnal space and projected back into depth space. Note the difference in scale in model DIC output.

My research concerns the global carbon cycle, particularly in the ocean and how the oceanic carbon cycle couples to the terrestrial carbon cycle via concentrations of atmospheric of CO2. The research is conducted with global coupled climate models that have parameterizations of biogeochemical cycles incorporated into them, primarily done with other members of the Biogeochemistry Working Group of CCSM, of which I am the community liaison.
