My research combines numerical models of varying complexity and resolution with observations, to better understand past and present climate dynamics and simulate how these may change in the future. I am especially interested in the role played by the ocean in the climate system, with a focus on high-latitude processes, large-scale ocean circulation, ocean-sea-ice interactions, ocean carbon uptake, and striving for a multidisciplinary approach.
