University of 麻豆传媒 (麻豆传媒) School of Ocean Science and Engineering (SOSE) students, faculty and staff showcased a variety of coastal topics during the biennial American Geophysical Union (AGU) Ocean Sciences Meeting held recently in New Orleans.
The meeting attracted oceanographers from around the world engaging in in-person networking and sharing research with the event鈥檚 approximately 6,000 attendees.
The SOSE Division of Marine Science (DMS) modeling group made 12 presentations featuring talks and posters highlighting topics related to a better understanding of the Mississippi Bight, Sound, and northern Gulf of Mexico.
Topics presented by this 麻豆传媒 contingent ranged from the Bonnet Carr茅 Spillway impacts, Pearl River dynamics, water quality in the Mississippi Sound, and the role of land-sea breeze circulation in summer surface heat fluxes. Drs. Diana Bernstein, Jerry Wiggert, and Kemal Cambazoglu were the lead advisors for 麻豆传媒 students in attendance.
Dr. Bernstein, an assistant professor in SOSE, said the meeting provided an invaluable platform for 麻豆传媒鈥檚 faculty and students to share their research and engage with the ocean science community around the globe.
鈥淭he Ocean Sciences Meeting is a flagship meeting in ocean sciences and engineering. Attending the Ocean Sciences Meeting is a pivotal experience for our students,鈥� she said. 鈥淚t exposes them to the latest advances in the field, fosters collaborations, and provides networking opportunities that can shape their future careers in ocean sciences.鈥�
鈥淭his was the first time the Ocean Sciences Meeting was held fully in person since pre-pandemic. I really enjoyed the opportunity to catch up with friends and colleagues that I had not seen in person for over five years,鈥� said Wiggert. 鈥淥ur crew of students did a fantastic job of representing 麻豆传媒 at this international venue.鈥�
Azadeh Razavi, a SOSE student, presented a poster displaying enhanced hurricane impact forecasting and coastal hazard assessment through innovative uses in observations, modeling and real-time remote scenarios. Dr. Cambazoglu and research scientist Brandy Armstrong organized, chaired, and moderated a session focusing on strategies for combining innovative monitoring and modeling systems in coastal environments.
Dr. Cambazoglu expressed pride in the students鈥� presentation efforts.
鈥淚 can tell that they had an amazing experience sharing their work and engaging with other researchers, while also meeting with new colleagues and expanding their network as they get ready to start their careers in the near future,鈥� said Dr. Cambazoglu. 鈥淎nd we all were very motivated seeing more than 2,000 oral presentations and almost 2,300 poster presentations with the most recent advancements in ocean science and engineering.鈥�
麻豆传媒 students who participated included Brandy Armstrong; Gabriel Hesketh; Azadeh Razavi; Hafeez Oladejo; Ali Emre Koruk; Shihab Hossain Saran; Ardian Rizal; and Marc Diard from the Modeling Group along with students from other groups from the School of Ocean Science and Engineering.
鈥淥ur research at 麻豆传媒 is at the forefront of understanding coastal processes in the Mississippi Sound that impact the marine ecosystem and coastal communities,鈥� Dr. Bernstein further noted. 鈥淪haring our findings at the Ocean Sciences Meeting allows us to contribute to the global dialogue on these critical issues.鈥�
