David C. Kadko, Associate Director and Professor

My research interests lie in utilizing naturally occurring radioactivity for the purpose of tracing the pathways and discovering the rates of various oceanic processes. Because naturally occurring radioisotopes have half-lives ranging from seconds to many years, it is possible to study processes that encompass a great variety of temporal and spatial scales. This has also given me the opportunity to be involved in studies crossing over different disciplines of oceanography.
