Ruth Musgrave is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Oceanography at Dalhousie University (Canada), affiliated with the Faculty of Science. Her research focuses on physical oceanography, including internal waves, tides, ocean mixing, and marine carbon dioxide removal strategies such as ocean alkalinity enhancement. She leads field trials in Halifax Harbour and Bedford Basin to test carbon removal technologies and refine monitoring frameworks.
Education: B.Sc. Physics (Melbourne University), B.Sc. Hons Atmospheric Science (Monash University), Ph.D. Scripps Institution of Oceanography (UC San Diego).
Research emphasizes energy flux dynamics in coastal systems, Arctic heat fluxes, and the application of numerical models to study ocean turbulence. Recent work evaluates large-scale ocean alkalinity enhancement (OAE) trials' effectiveness, with a focus on plume monitoring, carbon sequestration quantification, and MRV (monitoring, reporting, verification) frameworks. Her team uses advanced observational techniques like sUAS imagery and gliders to map flow dynamics in complex coastal environments.
Publications (2023-2025) highlight advancements in OAE field trials, internal wave dynamics, and the interplay between topography and ocean mixing. Her work bridges theoretical models with real-world applications in climate intervention and ocean observation systems.
