High-resolution spatial and temporal measurements of particulate organic carbon flux using thorium-234 in the northeast Pacific Ocean during the EXport Processes in the Ocean from RemoTe Sensing field campaign

Published in Elementa: Science of the Anthropocene, 2020

More than 950 measurements of thorium-234, the naturally occurring radionuclide used as a tracer of sinking particle flux, were made during August–September 2018 at Ocean Station Papa in the northeast Pacific Ocean. High-resolution vertical sampling enabled observations of the spatial and temporal evolution of particle flux in Lagrangian fashion. This work sets the foundation for understanding controls on the biological carbon pump during this EXPORTS campaign.

Concentrations, ratios, and sinking fluxes of major bioelements at Ocean Station Papa

Published in Elementa: Science of the Anthropocene, 2021

Fluxes of major bioelements associated with sinking particles were quantified in late summer 2018 as part of the EXport Processes in the Ocean from RemoTe Sensing (EXPORTS) field campaign near Ocean Station Papa in the subarctic northeast Pacific. The thorium-234 method was used in conjunction with size-fractionated (1–5, 5–51, and >51 mm) concentrations of particulate nitrogen (PN), total particulate phosphorus (TPP), biogenic silica (bSi), and particulate inorganic carbon (PIC) collected using large volume filtration via in situ pumps.

Ecosystem impacts of marine heat waves in the northeast Pacific

Published in Biogeosciences, 2022

Here we explain the contrast between the subpolar NE Pacific and the transition zone to the south of it using a global ocean biogeochemical model (MOM6-COBALT) with Argo float and ship-based observations to investigate how MHWs influence marine productivity.

QUEST 2023

Workshop, Princeton University, 2023

Questioning Underlies Effective Science Teaching (QUEST) with Princeton Teacher Prep. This innovative program is designed to enhance teachers’ knowledge of science and mathematics through laboratory experiments and experiences aligned with the Next Generation Science Standards.

Assistant Instructor ENV-367 2023

Undergraduate Class, Princeton University, 2023

I helped design and lead this course on earth system modeling for students interested in global environmental issues. Students used results from a climate model emulator to examine how the system responds to human activities and natural climate variations.
