scheduled for the first Monday of each month. The first talk
normally starts at 11:00AM. Each talk is typically 12 minutes
long (similar to many professional meetings), with 8 minutes for
questions.</font><br>

Blair: <i>Impact of surface roughness and temperature on the
motion of surface spill in the Gulf of Mexico</i></span>
<span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><br>
</span></font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Description:
An at-sea oil spill poses a serious threat to marine resources
and can be highly destructive to nearby wetlands and estuarine
animal habitats. Forecasting surface oil size, location, and
movement can be used to mitigate the damage resulting from an
oil spill. In this study, we investigate how surface
temperature and surface roughness caused by oil could impact
oil transport under realistic environmental conditions using a
coupled modeling system. I will be discussing does the role of
the amount of oil on the ocean surface has a big impact on
affecting atmospheric and oceanic processes.

and the biological carbon pump in the Western Antarctic
Peninsula coastal ecosystem</font><font face="Times New Roman,

</font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif">Description:
Thorium-234 is an important tracer for the transport of carbon
into the ocean's interior. In this talk, I will present results
from a six-month field campaign to understand carbon cycling in
the coastal ecosystem of the Western Antarctic Peninsula, and
show how a Bayesian model selection approach can be used to
investigate thorium sorption dynamics and quantify marine carbon
flux. <br>

<p><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif">Renee Richardson: <i>A
Newly Developed Form Drag Derived from Sea Spray Influenced
Surface Wind Stress at Hurricane Force Winds</i></font> </p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif"> Description: Drag, or
momentum transfer, at the air-sea interface is one of the major
physical processes impacting hurricane intensity. Sea spray is
suspected of playing a major role on the drag under hurricane
wind conditions. In this study, we investigate the impact of a
newly parameterized sea spray generation mechanism on drag, as
well as total surface stress, under hurricane force winds. I
will be discussing our findings on the spray influenced surface
stresses. <br>
