James D. Irish, Ph.D.
Education: B.S Physics, Antioch College, 1967 M.S. Oceanography, Scripps Institution of Oceanography, U. Cal. San Diego, 1969 Ph.D. Oceanography, Scripps Institution of Oceanography, U. Cal. San Diego, 1971
Experience: Observation and analysis of: Pacific and Aantarctic deep water tides, internal waves, turbulence, shelf circulation/transport from bottom pressure, Gulf of Maine water property formation and circulation, fish recruitment on Georges Bank, sediment transport under wave influence, Western Gulf of Maine ocean climatology, air-sea gas fluxes, aquaculture fish cage and fish feeding systems, and mooring and buoy response to environmental forcing.
Specialities: Moored buoys, bottom mounted instrumentation, satellite telemetry, and "smart" instrumentation. Observational interests include ocean currents, temperature, salinity, pressure, dissolved oxygen, CO2, acoustic and optical observations of sediment transport, acoustical detection of fish via swim bladder resonance, mooring tensions and modeling, buoy response measurement. Data analysis (correltaions, statisics, spectral, and tidal).
