He received his Ph.D. in physical oceanography at Old Dominion University in 1995. Bruce's research focuses on understanding and quantifying the impact of mesoscale and sub-mesoscale processes on ocean transport, using both observations and models. In recent years, his research group has focused on applying Lagrangian analysis and dynamical systems tools to study ocean circulation and transport problems. Bruce is also CARTHE's data manager.
