Ryan Abernathey (Climate Physics & Chemistry) successfully defended his doctoral thesis "Mixing by Ocean Eddies: The Geography of Effective Diffusivity, the Influence of the Winds, and some Implications for the Meridional Overturning Circulation". Ryan's advisor was John Marshall. You can find out more about Ryan's work with John and David Ferreira in last month's MITgcm news article Dependence of Southern Ocean Overturning on Wind Stress.
Congratulations Dr. Abernathey!
