Biography

Parker MacCready is a Research Professor at the University of Washington, specializing in estuarine coastal physical oceanography. His work focuses on advancing the fundamental understanding of coastal and estuarine waters, with particular emphasis on the connections between physical processes and biogeochemical cycles. Collaborating closely with biologists and chemists, he investigates the patterns of circulation and mixing that influence ocean acidification, hypoxia, and harmful algal blooms. He is part of the University of Washington's Coastal Modeling Group, which develops realistic numerical simulations of coastal and estuarine environments. These simulations provide unprecedented insight into the complex processes affecting the Pacific Northwest region's marine ecosystem.
