Title: Adventures in Ocean Observing

Dr. David (Roo) Nicholson is an Associate Scientist in the Marine Chemistry and Geochemistry Department at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. His research has the broad goal of understanding global biogeochemical cycles in the context of a changing climate. Towards this challenge, his research uses observations from autonomous platforms, such as underwater gliders, floats and surface vehicles and numerical models of varying complexity. Recent research foci include growing the global Biogeochemical Argo array, developing chip-based multiparameter sensors and designing monitoring strategies for ocean alkalinity enhancement.
