Jim Lerczak
Professor
Picture

Research Interests:  Jim is a coastal and estuarine physical oceanographer.  His research includes the study of coastal internal tides, high-frequency internal waves, and circulation in the vicinity of fronts; estuarine oceanography including the dynamics that drive the three-dimensional circulation and control temperature variations, the mechanisms that transport and disperse materials within estuaries, and the time response of estuaries to changes in forcing; physical/biological interactions which influence larval dispersal and estuarine water quality.

Project Roles:  
PI responsible for processing, assessment, and analysis of oceanographic data.

Expertise: Coastal and estuarine physical dynamics.  Ocean measurements and modeling.

Education: Ph.D. – Oceanography, Scripps Institution of Oceanography, 2000
M.S. – Physics, University of Washington, 1991
B.S. – Physics, Williams College, 1988
