James (Jamie) Pringle

Assistant Professor

I graduated in 1990 from Dartmouth College with a BA in physics and from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution Joint program with a doctorate in Physical Oceanography. I was then a post-doctoral fellow at the Marine Life Research Group at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography. I am now an associate professor at the University of New Hampshire.

My current research includes

  • Circulation in the Gulf of Maine and its impact on the transport of zooplankton and icthyoplankton.
  • Remote forcing of the nearshore in the Southern California Bight.
  • The importance of small scale variation in the wind field on coastal circulation.
  • Interactions of coastal and estuarine circulation in large estuaries.
  • Maintenance of alongshore variation in species composition, and alongshore variation in allele frequency, in the presence of alongshore currents.
  • Quantifying effect of alongshore currents on the relative fitness of species and alleles in species with planktonic lifestages.

I have funding for a student!
 I have funding for a student to work with us to develop quantitative theories of the intersection between coastal ocean circulation and the evolutionary fitness of marine species with a planktonic life stage. The student will either be in the Applied Math or Natural Resources and Earth System Sciences programs. Strength in math, and an interest in biological and physical oceanography are a must. Experience in marine biology, ecology, biological oceanography and physical oceanography will be a plus for any applicant. For details on the project, please follow this link .

Chapman and Malanotte-Rizzoli's Notes based on Myrl Hendershott's waves course:
 Many oceanographic students have learned about waves from this excellent set of notes prepared by Dave Chapman and Paola Malanotte-Rizzoli from a course originally given by Myrl Hendershott. They have been passed from hand to hand, and xeroxed many times. You may now find them here
