“Because the ocean is fascinating and relatively unexplored, it is impossible to get bored being an oceanographer.”
Dr. Tiago Bilo is an Assistant Scientist at the University of Miami’s Cooperative Institute for Marine and Atmospheric Studies (CIMAS) and the Physical Oceanography department at NOAA’s AOML. As a physical oceanographer, Tiago tries to implement the best tools to answer specific scientific questions (ocean in-situ observations, remote sensing, modeling, and theory). However, his research approach is primarily based on in-situ moored observations. Besides conducting his own research, Tiago is an education enthusiast and tries to get involved in as many teaching and mentoring activities as possible.
Current Work
Dr. Bilo’s current research is focused on the abyssal seawater properties of the Atlantic ocean
