Biography

Paul Myers is a physical oceanographer with a focus on the ocean's role in climate both in the past and present. He emphasizes the critical role the ocean plays in the global system, including its significant contributions to the climate system and as a provider of resources such as fisheries and undersea floor resources. His studies encompass the analysis of ocean observational data and numerical model development for simulation. His regional studies are concentrated on high latitude oceans surrounding Canada, including the Labrador Sea and sub-polar North Atlantic, with a particular modeling emphasis on the Canadian Arctic and the northwest passage. His research interests also include paleoceanography and Mediterranean oceanography, and he is currently seeking graduate students interested in roles related to freshwater in high-latitude oceans and regional ocean modeling. He teaches courses in ocean physics and advanced atmosphere-ocean-climate modeling dynamics, helping students to understand the complex interactions of oceanic systems with climate.
