Mari Figueroa, graduate student in the MLML Physical Oceanography lab, presented her research on internal tides in Monterey Submarine Canyon at the AGU Fall Meeting in San Francisco. Mari’s research uses data from the MLML seawater intake monitoring system, a shore-based observation station supported by CeNCOOS. Mari’s attendance at AGU was supported by a student travel award from the CSU Council on Ocean Affairs, Science and Technology (COAST). Mari was also the recipient of a 2023 COAST Dr. Kenneth H. Coale Graduate Scholar Award.

Also out in full force at AGU was the MLML Computational Oceanography lab, led by Mike Wood. Dr. Wood and student researchers in the Comp Oce lab presented on a range of topics, including remote sensing of kelp biomass and effects of ice melt on phytoplankton around the Greenland ice sheet.
