Shuwen Tan

Postdoctoral Scholar, Oceans
My research focuses on oceanic processes driven by interactions with topography, including dense overflows, flow hydraulics, internal waves, and turbulent mixing, as well as their impacts on Earth’s climate. My research at Stanford University uses idealized numerical modeling to understand the characteristics and energy pathways of nonlinear internal waves as they encounter three-dimensional topography.
