Dr. Simpson joined the Giddings lab and this PiNC project as a postdoctoral scholar in February 2022. Alex has been leading the preparation of the PiNC field campaign as well as investigating estuary mouth morphodynamics as they impact estuarine outflow magnitude. Previously, Alex's focus was remote sensing of nearshore features using drones and X-Band radar, with topics ranging from frontal shear instabilities to internal wave transformation. They completed their PhD with Dr. Merrick Haller at Oregon State University in December 2021.
