He loves all things ocean, especially when he can dive in himself. While a Postdoctoral Fellow, Dave worked with NatCap on land-sea interactions as part of the CAMEO (Comparative Analysis of Marine Ecosystem Organization) collaborative project with NOAA. Dave studied the structure, variability, and large-scale impact of the East Greenland Coastal Current for his Ph.D. in Physical Oceanography, which he received from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in 2008. He received his B.A. in Mathematics from the University of North Carolina - Wilmington.
