Blanton, Jackson O.
Professor - Physical
Oceanography - Skidaway Institute of Oceanography
Ph.D., 1968, Physical
Oceanography, Oregon State

Research
Interests:
Coastal circulation and
dispersion, continental shelf dynamics with a focus on the physical
oceanography of estuarine and shallow coastal waters and exchange
processes between oceans and estuaries and the effect of these
processes on larval transport.
