Dr. Michael Stacey specializes in numerical ocean modelling.  Dr. Stacey has spent many years studying inlets, primarily on the west coast of Canada, and has also been funded to study the circulation in the northeast Pacific Ocean.  His work includes the use Argo float profile data and a novel spectral nudging data assimilation scheme.
