Today, some photographs of one of the professors invited to our Master in Oceanography. Dr. Terry Joyce is currently collaborating with our physical oceanographers, especially Dr. Alonso Hernández-Guerra. Dr. Joyce gave some advanced lectures in physical oceanography. He is Senior Scientist in Physical Oceanography in WHOI and Director of the Ocean and Climate Change Institute. His research interests is in oceanic fronts and mixing phenomena, dynamics of warm core Gulf Stream rings, shipboard acoustic profiling of ocean currents, hydrographic sampling, oceanic subduction, physics of hydrothermally forced circulation and decadal variability.
