My research directs toward ocean circulation, dynamics, process studies, air-sea interaction, and decadal climate variability and change. My main research themes are tropical-ocean variability at intraseasonal to decadal time scales, sea level rise, and the role of oceans in affecting regional and global climate variability and change. Recently, my research projects also involve the impacts of climate variability and change on US Northeast coast sea level & inundation and on Southwest US water resource.
