Faculty

Sofia Marchetti works on habitat restoration and on the question of what counts as success when the reference state no longer exists.

Elena Reyes works on shelf circulation and the exchange between coastal water and the open ocean. She has led fourteen cruises aboard R/V Cascadia Strait.

Tobias Wren reads sediment cores for evidence of past climate, and spends a good deal of his time arguing about what a layer of mud can and cannot tell you.

Priya Iyer designs underwater vehicles and the control systems that keep them working when nobody is watching. She chairs Marine Engineering and led the case for the test basin.

Marcus Obi teaches the first-year biology sequence and works on the molecular tools that let a water sample stand in for a survey.

Nathaniel Brooks works on how ocean governance actually operates, as opposed to how the statutes say it does. He runs the policy clinic.

James McAllister is a doctoral candidate working on shelf-break exchange events, and the person who spent eleven days waiting for a glider to come back.
