Research Interests
- Observational studies designed to improve our understanding of interannual to multidecadal ocean variability and its influence on climate using oceanographic instruments such as inverted echo sounders, acoustic current profilers, conductivity-
temperature-depth systems, and dropsondes - Amperometric titration analysis
- Hurricane intensification predictions by preparing and piloting hurricane gliders

“We’ve come this far because we are the smartest creatures that have ever lived. But to continue, we require more than intelligence. We require wisdom.” – David Attenborough
Caitlin Reisa is a Research Associate II at the University of Miami’s Cooperative Institute of Marine and Atmospheric Studies (CIMAS) and a part of the Instrumentation group at the Physical Oceanography Division at the Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory (AOML). She provides scientific and technical support in the Western Boundary Time Series project and Hurricane Glider project by helping conduct long term monitoring of the volume transport and seawater parameters. Her current duties consist of working aboard oceanographic research vessels, conducting oxygen titration analysis, piloting hurricane gliders, and designing 3D prints utilizing FreeCAD and Bambu Studio software.
