Congratulations are in order! Luisa, Qi and Skylar successfully defended their PhD proposal this Fall and are getting ready to graduate in 2026.
Author: Annalisa Bracco
I am a Professor in Ocean and Climate Dynamics in the School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at Georgia Tech. My group's research revolves around climate modes of variability, multiscale dynamics of geophysical flows and their interactions with biological and chemical tracers. Our work is intrinsically interdisciplinary and we use climate and ocean models and data science tools to investigate physical drivers in natural systems.
Microplastic pollution in the Gulf of Mexico
New paper led by Xing, with Mireya Ramirez and Shuolin Xiao in npj Emerging Contaminants. Check it out here!
New GRL paper by Ljuba and Leah looking at large scale connectivity in the tropical Atlantic and how it differs from the Pacific Ocean
Our latest GRL paper is finally out and in open access form! No good news for coral reefs in the Caribbeans though…
Skylar has been awarded the SMART fellowship!
Great news for our own Skylar Lama, who is the recipient of one of the super competitive 2025 DOD SMART fellowships.
