proposals to generate electricity by
exploiting the temperature
difference between the ocean
thermocline and the ocean surface
(e.g., Ocean Thermal Energy
Conversion, or OTEC). Further, there
have been suggestions that global
warming could be slowed by pumping
heat from the surface ocean to the
deeper ocean, or that thermal and/or
chemical conditions suitable for
coral reefs could be maintained
through some ocean engineering
efforts. It has also been suggested
that ocean dead zones could be
addressed by pumping oxygen-rich
surface waters to anoxic regions at
depth.</span></p>

class="">We are looking to hire a
postdoctoral research scientist who
would undertake geophysical modeling
to address some of the issues raised
by these proposals. We have done
some initial highly-idealized
modeling at unrealistic scale (e.g.,
Kwiatkowski, Ricke and Caldeira,
2015), and would like to understand
whether those results apply to
deployments at more plausible
scale. The model used could be
anything from a high-resolution
local model to a coarse-resolution
global model, depending on the
problem being addressed.</span></p>
