Joseph Brodie is an environmental scientist with extensive experience in research, monitoring, and impacts mitigation technologies largely focused on the responsible development of offshore wind in the New York Bight and beyond. At AKRF, he works with clients to manage and conduct the studies and analyses necessary for large scale infrastructure projects to receive and comply with federal, state, and local permits, with a focus on offshore wind.
Prior to joining AKRF in 2022, he was Offshore Wind Research Lead and Director of Atmospheric Research here at RUCOOL, where he merged his passion for modeling with the observational technologies that enable skilled modeling to be done. He’s a member of American Clean Power’s Metocean Conditions Characterization Working Group as part of their Offshore Wind Technical Advisory Panel, and serves as Secretary/Treasurer of the Offshore Renewable Energy Committee of the Marine Technology Society. Dr. Brodie holds a B.S. in Meteorology from Rutgers University and a Ph.D. in Physical Ocean Science and Engineering from the University of Delaware.
