DESCRIPTION:Temperature and salinity fronts are important feat
 ures in the open ocean and coastal and estuarine e
 nvironments. These fronts can inhibit mixing of po
 llutants and other tracers while enhancing the ver
 tical exchange between surface and interior waters
 . Fronts are also extremely energetic and dynamic 
 environments\, exhibiting a rich collection of flu
 id dynamical processes on scales ranging from kilo
 meters to meters. I will discuss recent work using
  large-eddy simulations which indicates that front
 s can significantly modify the intensity and spati
 al structure of three-dimensional turbulence. I wi
 ll then discuss the impact that fronts and turbule
 nce can have on biology and the distribution and t
 ransport of buoyant tracers near the ocean surface
 .
