John & Mary Louise Riley Bodega Marine Laboratory Seminar Series: Dr.
Sarah Giddings: "Oceanic impacts on the circulation and water quality
within small low-inflow estuaries"
About the Speaker:
Dr. Giddings is a coastal physical oceanographer specializing in
estuarine and coastal processes with an interest in interdisciplinary
projects that address how physics impacts important biological and
chemical processes in the coastal environment. These coastal regions are
of particular interest to her because of the dual (and sometimes
competing) human and ecosystem services that they provide. Moreover they
are altered by anthropogenic modifications and a changing climate.
She started as an Assistant Professor at Scripps Institution of
Oceanography in January 2014. Prior to joining SIO, she was a National
Science Foundation Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Washington,
School of Oceanography, from 2012 – 2013, and a Postdoctoral Research
Associate at the University of Washington, School of Oceanography, from
2011 – 2012. She received her M.S. and Ph.D. in Civil &
Environmental Engineering from Stanford University, and her B.S. in
Civil & Environmental Engineering from Berkeley.
