She has led award-winning research projects in the Arctic and was noted for a distinguished scientific career by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
[3] She used current data from moorings[4] and buoys that were tracked by satellites[5] to characterize the movement of water in the vicinity of Kodiak Island, Alaska.
