He works in the interface between marine science and policy. His present work includes research on marine regional planning, the nursery role of nearshore habitats such as kelp forests, tools for ecosystem-based management and land-sea integration, the conservation and restoration of nearshore habitats including shellfish reefs and beds, and marine proprietary rights including the lease and ownership of submerged lands.

His research highlights include the following: discovery of the conservation of wave action, or energy divided by intrinsic frequency, rather than energy; explaining the world's highest tides in the Bay of Fundy in terms of resonance at 13.3 hours of the Fundy/Maine system; providing simple models for the ubiquitous internal waves in the ocean; unraveling some of the hydraulics of the exchange flow through the Strait of Gibraltar; using the Mediterranean Sea and Red Sea as test basins for learning about air-sea fluxes; and finding simple ways of understanding the complicated fluid dynamics of turbulent, rotating, stratified motions near the sloping sides of ocean basins. He has also contributed to assessments of the oceanic disposal of radioactive and other wastes and to issues of ocean energy, such as the prediction of iceberg trajectory for the Canadian offshore oil industry and the derivation of fundamental limits to tidal power as well as evaluation of its environmental impact.

Her focus now is the defining of renewable energy resources within the Southern Company footprint and evaluating renewable energy technologies that might be applicable to the Southern Company. She was the project manager for Southern Company on the "Southern Winds" project, which was a joint Southern Company-Georgia Institute of Technology project looking into the feasibility of offshore wind generation along the NRC Assessment of Marine and Hydrokinetic Energy Technology Interim Letter Report 26

Rath manages a multidisciplinary research program to discover and exploit new and improved materials, generate new concepts associated with materials behavior, and develop advanced components based on these new and improved materials and concepts. Scientists in this directorate perform theoretical and experimental research to determine the scientific origins of materials behavior and to develop procedures for modifying these materials to meet naval needs for advanced platforms, electronics, sensors, and photonics.

He also applied three-dimensional hydrodynamic and transport models to simulate the temperature stratification, circulation patterns, and suspended sediment transport in reservoirs and river systems to help the design of a fish collection facility, sediment cleanup decisions, and source control in connection with total maximum daily loads.
