Barbara Hickey has earned an international reputation for her studies of the interactions between estuaries and oceans, particularly in coastal ecosystems. Her research spans a variety of topics including the biophysical properties of low-oxygen environments and the rise of harmful algal blooms in coastal waters, which impact shellfish populations. Over the past several years, she has worked with students in southwest Washington to describe the effects of the Columbia River plume and the massive influx of freshwater jets from the Pacific Ocean that drive the region’s ecology. For her significant contributions to the basic science of the atmosphere and oceans throughout her career, she has been elected a Fellow of the American Geophysical Union.
