Congratulations to Dr. Alyssa Stansfield, who recently defended her dissertation and is the recipient of the 2022 Alumni Association’s Dean’s Choice Award for Leadership from the Graduate School Awards for students, faculty, and staff. The winners represent the very best of Stony Brook. We received many impressive applicants, all deserving of these awards, which made the committee’s work very challenging. Thank you to everyone who submitted nominations. Alyssa was also a finalist in the Stony Brook 3 Minute Thesis competition, which concluded on April 6, 2022.

 

Congratulations to Jack McSweeney, who has received a new award (her first at SoMAS!) for the project funded by the Office of Naval Research (ONR) – Quantifying Patterns of Internal Wave Properties and Turbulence over the Inner Shelf, in the amount $168,903, for the period 5/1/22 – 4/30/25.

Collaborative Proposal: Quantifying Patterns of Internal Wave Properties and Turbulence over the Inner Shelf Between the surf zone and the deeper, inner shelf is the stratified region where turbulent surface and bottom boundary layers comprise a substantial portion of the water column, separated by a spatially and temporally variable, stratified region in between. Inner shelf dynamics are influenced both by low-frequency wind-driven currents and high-frequency processes, including highly energetic internal waves and turbulence. The vertical distributions of buoyancy and momentum within the inner shelf are largely determined by turbulent fluxes, which are driven by high-frequency processes but have a significant aggregate impact on low-frequency flows through changes in stratification and effective turbulent viscosity. Much of the turbulence is driven by nonlinear internal tides that evolve significantly as they propagate across the shelf into shallow water. These nonlinear internal waves (NLIWs) are modulated by the background stratification and currents, which evolve significantly on synoptic to seasonal timescales. The complex interactions connecting low-frequency dynamics, stratification, currents, high-frequency internal wave evolution, and magnitude and vertical structure of turbulence make it challenging to obtain a simple closure of inner shelf dynamics. Here we propose to explore these interconnected inner shelf dynamics through a focused analysis of a recently collected dataset of unprecedented scope.

This project will utilize the highly resolved ISDE observations to elucidate how low-frequency currents and stratification on the inner self both impact and are impacted by internal waves through the generation of turbulent dissipation. There are 3 distinct aims. In Part I, we will evaluate the combined influence of background currents and stratification on the cross-shelf evolution of internal tides. In Part II, we will identify the variability of the vertical structure of turbulence throughout the shelf and determine the leading mechanisms of turbulence generation that underlie these patterns. Part III uses an event-scale analysis of wave characteristics and vertical structures of turbulence to assess how variability in the internal wave field ultimately impacts the feedback on the shelf. Collectively, these analyses will clarify the contribution of internal tides to low-frequency inner shelf conditions and inform the improved parameterization of these inter-connected dynamics in numerical models.

 

In recognition of Earth Day, Dr. David Taylor, UUP Member, Assistant Professor of Sustainability Studies and Director of the Environmental Humanities major in the School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences (SoMAS), shares his perspective of the relationship between socio-political issues and the environment.

“Solutions to climate change require science to understand the causes and realities, and offer effective responses. We also need clear communication of this science to inform good choices in both personal and policy decisions; however, we must also see ourselves as part of a community to act – responding, adapting, and building trust and connection. Arts and humanities have traditionally played this role, exploring the justice issues, morals, and ethics of culture. To my mind then, long-term solutions to climate change will need every field of study at colleges and universities to create just action informed by science at the individual, family, neighborhood, regional, national and international scales.”

Dr. Jeronimo Pan (PhD, 2010), is the lead editor (co-edited with Dr. Paula Pratolongo, of CONICET-Argentina) of the textbook “Marine Biology: a functional approach to the oceans and their organisms” through CRC Press/Taylor & Francis, released on March 3.

The textbook presents the diverse groups of marine organisms and their ecological roles in the world’s oceans, with a functional approach rather than an emphasis on systematics or habitats. Each chapter has been written and peer-reviewed by renowned experts in their respective fields, and includes updated information on relevant topics ranging from the microbial loop and primary production, to marine megafauna, to the projected impacts of climate change on marine ecosystems.

Among the scientists who have authored the chapters, there are contributions from past members of SoMAS such as Dr. Hannes Baumann, Dr. Santiago Salinas, and Dr. Jeronimo Pan.
