Robert Nazarian, PhD.
“The Next Generation of Long Island Sound Research: Understanding our Coast Through an Interdisciplinary Approach”
Last year, Fairfield University launched the new Center for Climate, Coastal, and Marine Studies, designed to support research through inter- and trans-disciplinary scholarship. This project, which represents Fairfield’s first center singularly dedicated to research, supports interdisciplinary research initiatives across Fairfield’s professional schools and College of Arts and Sciences, in disciplines including anthropology, applied ethics, biology, chemistry, computer science, counselor education, economics, education studies, English, finance, management, mechanical engineering, physics, politics, sociology, visual and performing arts, and more. In addition to advancing knowledge and developing answers to some of the most pressing questions in the field, the Center promotes the engagement of faculty and students with the community through outreach events, such as this event with the Greenwich RMA.
Prof. Robert Nazarian is an Associate Professor in the Physics Department at Fairfield University and Special Assistant to the Associate Vice Provost for Research. He received his PhD in Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences at Princeton University and his BA in Physics and Mathematics, magna cum laude, from The College of the Holy Cross. His primary area of research is the physics governing the ocean, atmosphere, and climate, using computational models to answer exciting questions about the dynamics of the ocean, atmosphere, and climate systems, including past and future climates. Rob and his students have been the recipients of several awards including a 2022 Goldwater Fellowship, campus-wide fellowships, and several NASA Space Grants to support undergraduate research.
Our next presentation, on May 27, is Dr. Richard Connors, dermatologist, Greenwich Hospital, on “Skin Cancer: What’s New?”
The Greenwich Retired Men’s Association offers a free program every Wednesday that is open to the public, both men and women; no reservations are required. Our social break starts at 10:40 am followed promptly by our presentation at 11:00. For additional information, including parking, see
