Cope, Jesse

Degrees: I have a B.S. in Physics from Centenary College of Louisiana. I am currently working on a Master’s degree in Geology at the University of Texas at Arlington.

Office: Room 242 GEOL, (817) 272-5846

 

Statement:

I am currently working on an experiment using the CCSM3 from NCAR, which investigates the effect of variable location exchange of freshwater between the Arctic and the remainder of the global ocean during the PETM. The carbon cycle model [Doney et al., 2006] is also used within the model. This experiment should give insight into possible topographic scenarios based upon ocean circulation patterns compared to proxy data.
