Biography
My research focuses on ocean and climate science and solutions (www.imanu.org). Specifically, large-scale ocean-atmosphere coupled dynamics, solutions for coastal resilience, climate and marine ecosystems dynamics. I am also Founding Chairman of Ocean Visions, a nonprofit that aims at catalyzing solutions for ocean & climate health (www.oceanvisions.org).
Recent News
In a recent Nature publication, DEEPS alum Lorenzo A. Davidson '24, undergraduate Constance M. Erdozain, Professor Emanuele Di Lorenzo and team explore key factors impacting the migration of juvenile North Pacific albacore tuna. Using electronic tagging data and an individual-based model (IBM), the researchers demonstrate that mixed layer depth has a pivotal role in influencing albacore migration timing and depth preferences. "These findings highlight the relevance of subsurface ocean conditions to the movement of highly migratory species and demonstrate the utility of IBMs in the study of complex migratory behaviors."
