My research investigates the large scale mixing dynamics and transport mechanisms associated with estuaries. Many coastal waterways currently suffer from the effects of urbanization in the form of polluted and contaminated water. To understand the impact of contamination, the hydrodynamics of these water bodies must be quantified. Through the use of deliberate tracers such as SF6 (sulfur hexafluoride), we can gain insight on how mixing is affected by water stratification, river geometry, and tides. We can also use our tracer technique to quantify advection, dispersion, gas exchange, and residence times for these water bodies. Download my CVPaul Schmieder_files/My%20CV-1.pdfshapeimage_1_link_0
