Prediction Studies
Dr. Steve Morey is a Senior Research Scientist at the Florida State University Center for Ocean - Atmospheric Prediction Studies, where he has been a member of the research faculty since 2000. His research fundamentally involves using computer simulations to understand a wide variety of oceanic physical processes and their impacts on ecosystems, offshore oil and gas industry, weather and climate, and coastal regions. His recent work has centered on topics such as: hurricane impacts on the ocean, the Apalachicola Bay estuary, strong deep currents in the Gulf of Mexico, and the Deep Water Horizon oil spill.
Dr. Morey specializes in integrating results from numerical simulations run on supercomputers with advanced three-dimensional animation techniques, analysis of satellite observations, "wet" observations within the ocean, and theory. Recently, he has worked on collaborative projects involving deepwater corals in the northern Gulf of Mexico, gag grouper studies, mercury contamination in Gulf of Mexico fish, oil spill prediction and impacts, and hurricane storm surge.
