VAZQUEZ PERALTA, HERIBERTO J.

Heriberto J. Vazquez Peralta is an Assistant Research Scientist at the University of California, San Diego, affiliated with the Scripps Institution of Oceanography and the Institute of Geophysics and Planetary Physics (IGPP). His research focuses on understanding ocean dynamics at basin and coastal scales through numerical modeling, data assimilation, and advanced acoustic techniques. He emphasizes the use of acoustics as a tool for remote sensing and data validation in underwater environments to address information scarcity in oceanographic models.

Education:

• Doctorate in Sciences in Physical Oceanography, CICESE, Mexico
• M.Sc. in Environmental Impact and Coastal Management, Instituto Tecnologico de Guaymas, Mexico
• BCE in Civil Engineering with a Minor in Maritime Structures, Instituto Tecnologico del Mar #03, Mexico

Research Interests: His work spans Acoustics and Infrasound, Mathematical and Theoretical Geophysics, Numerical Modeling, and Modeling and State Estimation of Oceans, Atmosphere, and Climate. He investigates sensitivity studies using adjoint models, acoustic tomography, and coastal oceanography. Recent efforts concentrate on inverse methods and data analysis in ocean acoustics, leveraging these tools to enhance basin-scale and short-term oceanographic understanding.
