The Coastal and Ocean Fluid Dynamics Laboratory focuses on fluid dynamical
and related processes affecting the transport of solids, dissolved constituents,
momentum, and energy within the ocean and across its boundaries. Subjects of
research include dispersion within the sediments, sediment suspension and transport,
feeding and dispersal of organisms, turbulent transport within the bottom boundary
layer and throughout the water column and its effect on estuarine, coastal and
ocean circulation, transport of mass, heat and momentum across the air-water
interface, and the turbulent fluxes in the surface layer beneath that interface
and in the marine boundary layer above it. Novel techniques and instruments
are often developed for exploring these processes by members of the Laboratory,
who come from the diverse disciplines of Biology, Chemistry, Engineering, Geology,
Meteorology, Oceanography and Physics. The laboratory is an active participant
in the Joint MIT/WHOI Graduate Program,
the WHOI Postdoctoral Program and the
WHOI Summer Student Fellows Program.
