Dr. Jay conducts research in buoyant plume processes, estuarine circulation and salinity intrusion, suspended sediment transport, coastal tides, biophysical interactions, estuarine comparison and classification, human alteration of coastal environments, fisheries oceanography and turbulence/mixing in stratified flows. This work examines spatial scales from microns to river basins and time scales from seconds to centuries. It also requires development of innovative data analysis methods, e.g., for wavelet tidal analysis and multi-sensor estimates of suspended sediment concentration.
