Dr. Morey is an Oceanography Associate Research Scientist at the Center of Ocean-Atmospheric Prediction Studies, Florida State University. His current research entails High-Resolution Numerical Modeling of the Gulf of Mexico, in which simulations serve as a virtual laboratory for studying the physics of the ocean circulation within the Gulf of Mexico. Projects include studies of the Loop Current and its eddies within the deep ocean, the circulation on the continental shelf near the coast, the interaction of eddies with the waters of the continental shelf, and the effects of river discharge on the ocean environment. Additionally, the model is being used for studies to advance understanding of numerical methods, ocean prediction systems, storm surge forecasting, and air-sea interaction.
