Jim Lerczak
Professor of Coastal and Estuarine Physical Oceanography at Oregon State University. Coastal physical oceanography including the study of internal tides, high-frequency internal waves, and buoyant coastal currents; estuarine oceanography including the dynamics that drive the three-dimensional circulation, the mechanisms that transport and disperse materials within estuaries, and the time response of estuaries to changes in forcing; physical/biological interactions which influence larval dispersal. |
Kylene Cooley
Graduate Research Assistant. |
Jack McSweeney
Research Associate (Postdoc). Research interests include estuarine dynamics, coastal sediment transport, shoaling internal waves, and coastal connectivity. |
Dylan Winters

Former Lab Members:
Emily Lemagie
Emily is currently a Postdoctoral Scholar in the Physical Oceanography Department at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. She complete here PhD, entitled "Transport and mixing of buoyant water from small mountainous rivers: an investigation of estuarine residence timescales and coastal current propagation", in 2018. She utilizes observational and numerical approaches, and her research interests include: Estuarine and coastal hydrodynamics and transport processes; buoyancy-driven flows; tidal and wind-driven circulation; biophysical interactions. |
