Biography

David Siegel (PhD University of Southern California, 1988) is a professor of Oceanography. His research interests include optical oceanography and ocean color remote sensing, coupling of physical processes in ocean biogeochemical fluxes, role of radiative exchanges in air-sea interaction processes, data information systems, and numerical simulation of small-scale processes and their implications upon larger scale physical and ecological phenomena.
