About Us
Carlos Moffat received a B.S. in Marine Biology from the University of Concepción, Chile, and a Ph.D. in Physical Oceanography from the MIT-WHOI Joint Program. He was a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. Since early 2016, he has held a faculty position at the School of Marine Science and Policy at the University of Delaware.
His research interests span a range of problems in Coastal Physical Oceanography, including understanding the role the ocean plays in glacier retreat, the dynamics of river discharge to the continental shelf, and physical-biological interactions.
Graduate Students
Frederike (Rike) Benz (2021-present) is studying buoyancy-forced currents and the coastal freshwater budget along the west Antarctic Peninsula shelf.
Jake Gessay (2022-present) is studying along-shore exchange processes along the Antarctic Peninsula.
Michael Cappola (2024-present) is studying long-term trends in ocean properties along the Antarctic Peninsula.
Prospective Students:
Research opportunities are available for highly-motivated students who are interested in joining the group. The University of Delaware offers a number of relevant undergraduate degrees as well as Masters and Ph.D. programs in Oceanography.
