Susan Howard joined ESR in 1997 after earning her Master's degree in Oceanography from Oregon State University studying tidal mixing in the Arctic. Since then, she has continued to study tides and mixing primarily in the Southern Ocean and Antarctic shelf seas. In 2001, she participated in the Southern Ocean GLOBEC cruise aboard the R/V N.B. Palmer to the western Antarctic Peninsula shelf region (see her Antarctic pictures).

Susan grew up in Southern Indiana and received her B.A. degree in Mathematics from Rutgers University. She now lives in Seattle with her husband, Tim, and her daughter, Amelia.
