“Studies about marine biogeochemistry and ecosystem metabolism are essential to comprehend the complex changes that the biosphere has been experiencing, especially on coastal areas. In order to provide better understanding, the integration of advanced tools such as numerical modeling, operational oceanography and remote sensing, provide valuable information about different spatial and temporal scales, improving the capability of assessment of natural processes under global changes.”
Dr. Luis Bordin is a Research Scientist at the Northern Gulf Institute (NGI) and the Physical Oceanography Division at NOAA’s Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory (AOML). Dr. Bordin’s research focuses on examining marine biogeochemical dynamics by both observational and numerical modeling. He has expertise in assessing marine physical and chemical data, and in configuring hydrodynamic and biogeochemical models such as the Regional Ocean Model System (ROMS) and Delft3D model. His major interest is in understanding how natural and anthropogenic forcing factors affect marine biogeochemical variability and ecosystem metabolism, to understand how climate change can affect the coastal and global ocean.
