Research area(s):

  • Physical oceanography

Area of Expertise:

Dr. Jennifer Jackson a physical oceanographer who studies currents, waves, tides, how the atmosphere interacts with the ocean, and how the physical environment affects marine animals and plants. Over her career, she has studied the Arctic, Indian, and Pacific Oceans.

Jennifer currently works as a research scientist at the Hakai Institute, a not-for-profit organization that is actively studying the coastal margins of British Columbia.

The Hakai Institute has field stations on Calvert Island (50 km south of Bella Bella on the Central Coast), and on Quadra Island off northeastern Vancouver Island. The Hakai Institute has collected almost 5,000 year-round CTD (conductivity, temperature and depth) profiles in the waters surrounding these field stations and it is Jennifer’s job to process, analyze, interpret, and write scientific papers that use these data.
