He joined the faculty at Harvard University, becoming an associate professor of physical oceanography in 1966. At Harvard, he discovered a new fluid instability, he (with A.R. Robinson) made the first laboratory model of the equatorial ocean circulation, and developed and patented a new deep-sea pressure gauge. In 1973 he moved to the University of Washington where he (with R. B. Wearn) conducted the first deep pressure measurements for monitoring ocean currents in the Drake Passage, and co-founded and was the first Dean of the College of Ocean and Fishery Sciences. From 1983 to 1983 he served as president of Joint Oceanographic Institutions, Inc. He co-founded The Oceanography Society and was its first president. As the Administrator of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in the Clinton Administration from 1993 - 2001, he guided the modernization of the National Weather Service and achieved new funding for the Argo float program which now covers the world ocean. Later he served as president of the Academy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia from 2002 to 2006, developing new public programs. From 2007 to 2016 he was the Director of the Global Carbon Measurement Program for the William J. Clinton Foundation. He is currently an advisor to FLINTpro, a company of forestry experts and software engineers that helps protect their forest landscapes. His book on satellite measurements, Planet Earth: The View from Space (1990), published by Harvard University Press, is an international reference work. He was awarded the Vikram Sarabhai Medal by the Government of India in 1998 for "Outstanding Contributions to Space Research in Developing Countries."
