My research will involve theoretical studies of problems in physical oceanography, with an emphasis on tides, tidal power, and surface waves. Studies of tides will include continued investigation of the reason for the extreme tidal range in Ungava Bay and the application of fluid dynamical principles to a better formulation of the representation of friction forces in coastal models. Studies of tidal power will build on my earlier results on the maximum power available from tidal currents and consider the reduction that occurs if only partial fences of turbines are used in channels. Studies of waves will include a new approach to rogue waves as "unexpected" waves, and a formulation of the back effect of breaking waves on an underlying current. This is important as the driving forces can be dominant in some situations.

我的研究将涉及物理海洋学问题的理论研究，重点是潮汐，潮汐能和表面波。潮汐研究将包括继续调查昂加瓦湾极端潮差的原因，以及应用流体动力学原理更好地表述沿海模型中的摩擦力。潮汐发电的研究将建立在我早期关于潮流最大发电量的研究结果之上，并考虑在渠道中仅使用部分涡轮机围栏时所发生的减少。波浪的研究将包括一种新的方法，流氓波作为“意外”的波浪，并制定了破碎波的回效应对底层电流。这一点很重要，因为驱动力在某些情况下可能占主导地位。
