Jaime B. Palter

Jaime B. Palter is an Associate Professor of Oceanography at the University of Rhode Island's Graduate School of Oceanography. Her research explores large-scale ocean circulation dynamics and their impact on biogeochemical cycles and global climate.

• Affiliation: URI Graduate School of Oceanography
• Academic Rank: Associate Professor (Oceanography)

Using Lagrangian floats, ocean gliders, and climate models, Palter investigates carbon and oxygen transport in western boundary currents like the Gulf Stream, with recent projects focusing on Marine Carbon Dioxide Removal strategies and ocean alkalinity enhancement verification protocols.

Current research trends include:

• North Atlantic circulation variability
• Gulf Stream biogeochemical interactions
• Labrador Sea water transport mechanisms
• Autonomous vehicle-based ocean observations
• Climate change mitigation through ocean interventions
• Historical hydrographic analysis for AMOC reconstruction

Palter's lab trains students and postdocs in oceanographic research, with alumni now working at institutions like the University of Washington, Bandung Institute of Technology, and Woods Hole Group.
