Wendell S. Brown Professor of Marine Science and Technology
Department of Estuarine and Ocean Sciences (DEOS) School for Marine Science and Technology (SMAST) University of Massachusetts Dartmouth
Contact: wbrown@umassd.edu; 508.910.6395
Research interests: Coastal ocean dynamics in the Gulf of Maine in terms of the response of the Gulf of Maine to winter storm winds and waves; the mechanisms of exchange rates between the coastal ocean and the interior Gulf; winter mixed layer evolution and Maine Intermediate Water formation in Wilkinson and Jordan Basins; estuarine circulation; and data assimilation ocean modeling in which ocean observations are integrated into coastal ocean models.
His previous academic appointment was in the Department of Earth Sciences at the University of New Hampshire, where he was also director of the Ocean Process Laboratory and chair of the UNH Marine Program Executive Committee. He earned his PhD. in Oceanography from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Matt Grossi Research Associate matt.grossi@umassd.edu
Research Interests: Physical oceanography, ocean observation, and tropical meteorology. Matt is particularly interested in considering ocean-atmosphere interactions and climate indicies such as ENSO though the lens of global climate change on short and long timescales.
Matt graduated from the Florida Institute of Technology with a B.S. in Physical Oceanography and a minor in Meteorology before earning an M.S. in Marine Studies from the University of Delaware. Here at OCEANOL he maintains several CODAR sites throughout southern Massachusetts and Rhode Island as the MARACOOS northern regional CODAR sites operator, is responsible for OCEANOL's glider operations, and works on data processing and visualization.
