He received a Ph.D. in oceanography in 1987 from the Massachu- setts Institute of Tech- nology and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution Joint Program in Oceanog- raphy. His research seeks to understand the complex spatial structure and time variation of coastal ocean circulation and water properties, and how these influence coastal marine ecosystems. Barth has led a num- ber of research, technol- ogy development and ocean-observing projects off Oregon and around the world. He serves on the Oregon Ocean Policy Ad- visory Council’s Scientific and Technical Advisory Committee, contributing to the design, implementation and evaluation of marine reserves along the Oregon Coast.
