​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.

​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.
