About this website

My name is Stephen Griffies and this website summarizes my research, teaching, and mentoring activities in areas related to ocean fluid mechanics, ocean circulation, and climate dynamics. 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. As of Feb 2026, I joined the LOCEAN team in Paris working on topics related to ocean physics and ocean modeling.

You are invited to explore this website for an overview of my activities and for opportunities to work with me as a postdoc or collaborator. In particular, I seek collaborators with a very strong training in theoretical physics who have an interest in the rich and diverse questions within ocean and climate physics.
