Development of instrumentation to spatially map and characterize surfactants in the sea surface microlayer using fluorescence and mass spectrometry.

Air-sea gas transfer in coastal and open ocean regions
Field studies of air-sea gas transfer in relation to atmospheric forcing, small-scale waves, and surface films.

Satellite estimation of air-sea gas transfer velocity
Development of algorithms to use normalized radar backscatter from space-based altimeters and scatterometers to estimate gas transfer velocity fields on regional and global scales.

Surface roughness parameterizations of air-sea gas transfer
Investigation of alternate models of gas transfer dependence on small-scale surface wave slope and Schmidt number.
