Dr. Kate Edwards

This page is a working archive of my Ph.D. thesis project at Scripps, where David Rogers and Clinton Winant were my advisors.
I graduated in spring 2000 and have been supported by ONR and MMS.
You can obtain my curriculum vitae, abstract of my thesis, statement of research interests, or the entire thesis, all in .pdf format, by clicking on the links. I am now at the University of Washington School of Oceanography, and you can learn about my current postdoc project here.
