My research interests are experimental atmospheric and oceanic
optics. Most of this work is done in the field, either on oceanographic ships
or islands and links in this site include pictures of some of the work which has
been performed from my lab. Our work focuses on how light scatters from particles
in the atmosphere, ocean, and ocean bottom. This includes measurement
of light scattering in seawater, measurement of the
radiance
distribution (the directional properties of the light field)
in
the
water
and sky
(spectral and polarized), measurement of aerosol optical depth in many ways,
measurement of imaging properties in seawater, and measurement of inelastic
scattering in seawater.
