Dr. Laur Ferris

Dr. Ferris' research focuses on geophysical fluid dynamics, glider-based observations of ocean turbulence and mixing, and improving parametrization of submesoscale processes in ocean models. She is a globe trotting oceanographer who has spent months at sea in both the Southern Ocean and the Arctic Ocean. She authored numerous manuscripts on both ocean observing methods as well as on the fundamental dynamics of submesoscale instabilities.
