Ramzi Mirshak
Postdoctoral Fellow, Oceanography and Earth Sciences

I hold a joint position between Oceanography and Earth Sciences at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia. My research interests include internal-wave mixing, application of seismic methods to physical oceanography, shelf-slope mass exchange, and sediment transport. For my PhD thesis, I studied nonlinear internal waves encountering sloping topography, but now I work mostly on issues related to seismic oceanography (please see my research interests for more information).

When not consumed by oceanography, I play violin and viola, play ultimate frisbee, and volunteer with Halifax Regional Search and Rescue.



"When you can measure what you are speaking about, and express it in numbers, you know something about it; but when you cannot measure it, when you cannot express it in numbers, your knowledge is of a meager and unsatisfactory kind; it may be the beginning of knowledge, but you have scarcely, in your thoughts, advanced to the stage of science." - Lord Kelvin
