Abstract
Motivated by the goal of understanding the genealogy of a sample from an expanding population in the plane, we consider coalescing Brownian motion on the circle. For this model, we establish a weak law of large numbers for the site frequency spectrum. A parallel result holds for a localized version where the genealogy is modeled by coalescing Brownian motion on the line.
