Hatcem Tuba Özkan-Haller is a Turkish–American earth scientist who is a professor at Oregon State University. She currently holds the position of Dean of the College of Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Sciences at Oregon State University. Her research makes use of numerical, field, lab and analytical approaches to comprehend physical processes in the nearshore ocean.
Early life and education[edit]
Özkan-Haller is the daughter of an admiral in the Turkish navy and says that she had an oceanic upbringing.[1] She studied civil engineering at the Boğaziçi University in Istanbul. She moved to the United States for graduate studies, where she earned a master's degree and a PhD in civil engineering at the University of Delaware.[2] Her research considered the evolution of shear instabilities in longshore currents. After earning her doctorate, she moved to the University of Michigan, where she was on the faculty for three years.[citation needed]
Research and career[edit]
Özkan-Haller joined Oregon State University in 2001.[3] Her research looks to generate a predictive understanding of the ocean.[3][4][5] She has investigated the impact of three-dimensional "surfzone" eddy currents and their role in distributing pollutants and marine organisms. She used Acoustic Doppler current profilers to make observations of surf zone mean currents and eddies, which she combined with numerical models.[citation needed]
Özkan-Haller has held positions at Oregon State including Associate Vice President for Research Administration and Development and Interim Dean.[3][6][7] She serves on the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Hydrographic Survey Review Panel[8] and the United States Army Corps of Engineers Coastal Engineering Research Board.[citation needed] Additionally, she is involved in a National Science Foundation Advance Grant aiming to enhance the participation of women in earth sciences. She is part of an Advance Grant that looks to improve the participation of women in earth sciences.[9][10]
