Denny Kirwan is a Marine Studies Professor at the University of Delaware. Since obtaining his Ph.D. from Texas A&M University in 1964, he has served as a faculty member at five different universities. He has also worked as a research scientist at two private sector companies and as a Program Manager for the Office of Naval Research. Dr. Kirwan has always been very interested in fluid transport in the environment. In the mid 1970’s, he was privileged enough to have participated in the first large-scale Lagrangian deployment of satellite-tracked drifters in oceanography and has since been involved in numerous Lagrangian experiments. The data obtained during these experiments has helped him study the transfer of material and energy between different scales. His talent and extensive experience are great assets to CARTHE, where he is currently collaborating on the data analysis of the GLAD experiment.
