Biography

Steven Emerson approaches research and teaching with a chemical perspective on oceanography. His work involves understanding biogeochemical processes and the role of the ocean in global fluxes of oxygen, carbon, and nitrogen through the study of distributions of chemical concentrations and isotope ratios. Oceanography, under his guidance, becomes an interdisciplinary field, integrating traditional sampling methods from ships with remote sensing technologies, including a variety of sensors such as moorings, profiling floats, and gliders. Emerson has a long distinguished record in research and has been elected a Fellow of the American Geophysical Union and the American Geochemical Society.
