NorthWest Research Associates

Steven joined us on November 1 as he transitions from his position as Distinguished Professor of Chemistry at U Puget Sound.

His research centers broadly on the role of ice in the climate system. Recent projects have involved studies of cirrus-like ice crystals grown inside a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), theoretical models of faceted ice growth, and molecular-level simulations of the dynamics of molecules (such as RNA) on ice surfaces. Another line of research focuses on the integration of polar-scientific research into conventional disciplinary teaching curricula.

Please welcome Steven!

Dr. Romero is a J-visa visitor who will collaborate with Magdalena Carranza on a project to assess storm impacts on upper ocean circulation & mixing, and the influence on phytoplankton bloom over the Zapiola rise region of the Southwest Atlantic.

Please welcome Silvia!
