Haydee Salmun
Mailing Address:
Department of Geography
Hunter College of the City University of New York
695 Park Ave.
New York, NY 10065
Ph.D. 1989 The Johns Hopkins University, Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences M.S. 1980 University of Missouri-St. Louis, Department of Physics B.S. 1977 University of Buenos Aires, Departamento de Fisica
Research & Teaching Interests:
Environmental fluid mechanics, climate dynamics and climate change, oceanography and coastal processes, land surface-atmosphere interactions, mathematical modeling of geophysical flows
My research goal is to contribute to the understanding of small-scale processes in geophysical and environmental fluids and on parameterizing the effects of these processes on the large-scale flows. In particular to investigate turbulent mixing processes in boundary layers in atmospheric, estuarine and coastal areas, and the role of small-scale fluid motions on transport mechanisms in fluid media. Specifically, my current research focuses on (1) the impact of land-surface heterogeneities, and associated dynamical processes, on climate and climate variability; and (2) the application of boundary layer flows and boundary mixing theories to transport of tracers, particulates in suspension and pollutants in general (agrochemicals, for example) in aquatic environments such as estuaries (the Chesapeake Bay, for example).
My teaching goal is to continue to teach and to develop new courses in relation to my research interests. In addition, I want to teach courses that focus on interdisciplinary education, for example, courses that teach the physical and mathematical basis of the Earth's climate and global climate change and that also include the need to understand the far reaching implications of this change for humans.
My interest in, and commitment to, issues of gender, diversity and science continue to provide incentives for mentoring students in the sciences as well as teaching about the role of women and minorities in science and engineering.
