Experts Guide

Galperin is a physical oceanographer whose research areas include geophysical fluid dynamics, hypoxia, modeling, ocean circulation, ocean physics, paleoceanography, planetary atmospheric circulations, transport and diffusion, turbulence theory and simulations and turbulent mixing.

Mitchum is an expert on storm surge, sea level rise and hurricanes. He studies the global impacts of sea level rise and the broader connections between climate change and storms. His research includes a focus on areas including tides, ocean eddies, El Niño, tsunamis and ocean physics.

Weisberg is a physical oceanographer with a focus on ocean circulation on the West Florida Shelf. His research specialities include the application of ocean physics to understand hurricane storm surge, harmful algal blooms and pollution tracking.

n experimental physical oceanographer who studies ocean circulation and ocean-atmosphere interaction in the tropics, on continental shelves and in estuaries. His research emphasizes the West Florida Continental Shelf circulation and interactions between the shelf and deep-ocean and the shelf and estuaries. Through his Ocean Circulation Group he coordinates real-time, in-situ measurements, analyses and numerical circulation models aimed at describing and understanding the processes that determine West Florida Continental Shelf water properties.
