Dr. Hae Cheol Kim

Dr. Hae-Cheol Kim works with Harte Research Institute (HRI) endowed chair Dr. Paul Montagna, developing a coupled ecosystem box model that can predict ecosystem responses and bay health to changes in freshwater inflow. He received his Ph.D. in Oceanography from the Center for Coastal Physical Oceanography, Old Dominion University in 2004, where his research focused on marine primary production and carbon flux in Antarctic coastal waters. Before coming to HRI, he was working at the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center as a postdoctoral fellow, where he developed a coupled watershed-ecosystem model for prediction of eutrophication and water quality in tributaries of the Chesapeake Bay.
