About this website

My name is Stephen Griffies and this website summarizes my research, teaching, and mentoring activities in theoretical ocean physics. As of May 2025, I retired from the NOAA Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory in Princeton. I remain active as part of the Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences Program at Princeton University. Furthermore, as of Feb 2026, I joined the LOCEAN team in Paris as a Choose France for Science Laureate.

You are invited to explore this website for an overview of my activities. I seek collaborators with a very strong training in theoretical ocean physics and mathematics who have a passion for studying the rich and complex questions within ocean and climate physics.
