Jeffrey D. Paduan received his Ph.D. in physical oceanography from Oregon State University in December, 1987. At present he is Dean of Research at the Naval Postgraduate School and a Board of Trustee member of the Consortium for Ocean Leadership. His background involves study of upper ocean currents and air-sea interaction. In recent years, Dr. Paduan has been principal investigator for a series of projects around Monterey Bay that have brought together observations, modeling, and data assimilation of circulation and ecosystem responses. He is a leader in the use of high frequency (HF) radar systems for monitoring ocean surface currents. Dr. Paduan is the co-author of 54 publications and numerous technical reports related to the physics of the upper ocean.
