Arthur Mariano is CARTHE's group leader in outreach. Dr. Mariano has analyzed, predicted, and assimilated Lagrangian ocean data since his days as a graduate student. He is working on applying nonlinear particle filters (a state-of-the-art technique for fusing Lagrangian information) to flows in the Gulf of Mexico. He is the co-founder and co-organizer of the Lagrangian Analysis and Prediction of Coastal and Ocean Dynamics (LAPCOD) group and has co-authored more than 30 papers and book chapters related to Lagrangian analysis, the Florida Straits, and the Gulf of Mexico, as well as over 40 other peer-reviewed publications. In addition to his work with the University of Miami, he is the chair of the NASA Sea Surface Temperature Science Team Sampling and Analysis Working Group.
