Andrea O'Neill
Oceanographer with the USGS Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center
I'm an oceanographer and meteorologist with the Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center in Santa Cruz, CA. I have expertise in coastal and marine hazards projections, hydrodynamic simulations, coastal impacts with climate change, and team building.
Professional Experience
Following 11 years of meteorological and oceanographic forecasting in the Western Pacific, I began my career at USGS doing future coastal flooding hazards projections using the Coastal Storm Modeling System (CoSMoS).

Downscaling wind and wavefields for 21st century coastal flood hazard projections in a region of complex terrain
While global climate models (GCMs) provide useful projections of near-surface wind vectors into the 21st century, resolution is not sufficient enough for use in regional wave modeling. Statistically downscaled GCM projections from Multivariate Adaptive Constructed Analogues provide daily averaged near-surface winds at an appropriate spatial resolution for wave modeling within the orographically co
