Manu is visiting to work with me (Ted Strub) on GLOBEC synthesis research. He is also a possible candidate for faculty hire of opportunity. He would like to visit with others interested in his research topics. They are:

Basin-to-boundary scale ocean circulation modeling, from events to 50-year decadal-scale climate variability. Data assimilation techniques for ocean models; coupled atmosphere-ocean models; coupled ecosystem-circulation models.

Manu has a strong interest in working with biologists on bio-physical models, with an emphasis on climate variability (interannual to decadal). He leads our Pan-Regional GLOBEC team, with PO and BO team members from Georgia Tech, OSU, HMSC-NMFS, Monterey-NMFS/ERD, SIO, UW, U. Maine.

Let me (Ted Strub) know if you would like to talk with Manu while he is here.

His web page has his CV and other details.
