Description

Pete has retired from lecturing, teaching, supervising—and from writing proposals and journal articles—in favor of larger projects.

He recently completed a book, Viscous Flow Environments in Oceans and Inland Waters (Cambridge Scholars Publishing), based largely on material developed during his hands-on teaching of biological fluid dynamics in the Darling Marine Center’s Semester-by-the-Sea Program.His current project is a popular science book on the structure and function of animal guts.
