Group Leader
I am a climate scientist fascinated by the ocean, ice, polar regions and the global carbon and water cycles. In particular, I study the impact of changing freshwater fluxes and ice on the Southern Ocean in past, present and future climates and their linkages to global changes at the interface of observations and models.
Postdoc
My aim is to better understand the ocean carbon sink and its changes, with a special focus on the Southern Ocean. I study how the physics of the ocean impact the return pathways of CO2 to the surface, and for this I particularly love using data acquired on sailboats.
Postdoc
I am interested in the large-scale ocean circulation of the Southern Ocean and its impact on heat, freshwater and other physical properties. I am especially interested in understanding the interactions between different length- and time- scales of physical processes that drive ocean patterns and behaviour. In particular, I focus on in situ autonomous measurements from Argo floats.
Research associate / Data manager
With a novel database for marine oxygen isotopes, we want to better understand the role of the Southern Ocean in context of climate change.
PhD Student
I am an oceanographer with a passion for the high latitudes. My goal is to use non-hydrostatic models to improve our understanding of convection in the Southern Ocean, with the ultimate aim of improving how Southern Ocean convection is represented in global couple climate models.
Associate mambers & guests
PhD Student (Associate member)
I want to understsand the physical controls behind nutrient supply to the South Georgia phytoplankton bloom using high resolution in-situ observations across the ACC.
PhD Student (Guest)
In my PhD, I aim to understand the observable role that Antarctic Winter Water plays in the Southern Ocean. Antarctic Winter Water is important in connecting the polar Southern Ocean to the global ocean.
Master student (Intern)
In my internship, I aim to investigate sea ice-ocean interaction processes in the Southern Ocean using simplified numerical models.
