Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJasen Jacobsen is an oceanographer and numerical modeler with 12+ years of hands-on experience combining physical and biogeochemical models (ROMS, MOM6, COBALT, Darwin, NPZD) with observational data to diagnose how processes like internal tides, island-trapped waves, and coastal upwelling shape marine productivity and nutrient cycling. He completed a Ph.D. in Marine Sciences at UC Santa Cruz, where he developed novel diagnostics to quantify nutrient and light limitation on phytoplankton and emphasized reproducible workflows using Python, Fortran, and R. Jasen has led cross-institutional modeling and model-data synthesis efforts, mentored students in field and lab methods, and translated research into applied roles—now applying hydrologic modeling tools and Python automation at Woodard & Curran. He brings a rare blend of theoretical process insight and practical monitoring experience (carbonate chemistry, long-term ecosystem datasets) and is committed to equity-minded mentorship and inclusive research environments. Outside core research, he contributes to community science governance as Treasurer for the Eastern Pacific Ocean Conference, signaling a sustained investment in translating science to policy and management.
