Overall Project Details

Title of the Project Wave Generated Recirculation in Kelp Beds

Project Keywords ocean waves kelp nonlinear laboratory

Are you currently looking for research assistants? Yes

Number of Research Assistants Needed 1

Relevant Research Assistant Major(s) Physics
Math
Engineering
Meteorology

Project Location: On FSU Main Campus

If the project location is off campus, does the research assistant(s) need to provide their own transportation? {Empty}

Please select the choice that most accurately describes your expectations for the research assistant(s): In-person

Approximately how many hours a week would the research assistant(s) need to work? 8

Roughly what time frame do you expect research assistant(s) to work? Flexible schedule (Combination of business and outside of business. TBD between student and research mentor.)

Overall Research Project Description This project will be a laboratory experiment designed to simulate wave action on a coastal kelp bed and the associated nonlinear wave-driven recirculation. The RA will help set up the experimental apparatus, conduct experiments, and analyze data for fluid circulation, both fluctuating and mean flow.

Research Tasks literature review, data collection, data analysis, writing

Skills that research assistant(s) may need: required motivation to work in a laboratory setting with hands-on activity in a fluids wave tank, use power tools and fabricate simple devices for measurement.

Mentoring Philosophy Encouraging growth through challenges and promoting learning through inquiry. Our lab offers students the opportunity to expand their experience to include all areas of scientific research in the area of fluid dynamics, from formulating a problem, describing the tools needed to address the problem, implementing the planned tasks, observing the laboratory system, and synthesizing the results.
