YAO YU

Welcome to visit my website! I am a postdoct at IGPP, Scripps Institution of Oceanography, working with David Sandwell and Sarah Gille. I received my Ph.D. in Earth Sciences from the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UCSD in June 2023. Before that, I received my undergrade and master's degree in Geodesy at Wuhan University, China.

My research focuses on the coupled ocean-solid Earth, including small-scale ocean dynamics (such as eddies and internal tides), marine tectonics (such as abyssal hills), and ocean–seafloor interactions.

Upcoming Meetings and Presentations:

Past Presentation Recordings:

March 24, 2025, AGU Geodesy Section Webinar
November 21, 2024, SWOT Bathymetry Workshop
In the second half of this video, I explain how to download, read, and process SWOT data to generate marine gravity, and I walked through codes.
