Welcome

Research within the Powell lab is focussed upon the use of numerical modeling and observational data assimilation to study nonlinear ocean circulation and prediction around islands. Experiments should capture the essence of a problem as simply as possible. Experimenters should be a jack of all trades, ready to work on fluid problems, spend time at sea, program computers, and delve into applied mathematics. Ideas within are shared and debated openly with all discourse free of rigid hierarchies.
