BROMIRSKI, PETER

Associate Project Scientist

Degrees:

• M.S., Humboldt State University
• Ph.D., University of Hawaii, Manoa

Research Interests:

• Wave climate variability in the NE Pacific, western North Atlantic, and circum-Antarctic oceans.
• Microseismic source areas and distribution in relation to wave climate - global.
• Inferences of climate variability from historic seismogram ambient noise studies - global.
• Tide gauge data studies: storm surge, infragravity waves.
• Coastal impacts of storm surge and storm waves under rising sea levels.
• Ocean bottom ambient noise variability: wave climate associations.
• Shear waves in marine sediments.
