Daniel Ellis will receive his M.S. in marine science from the University of California, Santa Barbara, in March of 2016. His research focuses on coastal physical oceanography and improving the understanding of how ocean currents can be measured from underwater vehicles called gliders. Additionally, Daniel has experience collaborating with other researchers on projects ranging from ocean acidification to the recent Refugio oil spill.
As part of the Ocean Standards Unit at the State Water Resource Control Board, Ellis helped develop and implement state policies under the California Ocean Plan, which protects water quality in coastal waters.
