Biography

Research Interests:

  • Anything related to ocean and climate
  • Special preference for ice-ocean-atmosphere dynamics and their feedbacks
  • Fascinated about extremes and tipping points (from a distance)
  • Excited about trying out new mathematical methods
   
 
 

Current projects:

  • DIMSUM ("Drivers and impacts of North Atlantic freshwater and heat fluxes unsettling modern-day climate")
  • CANARI ("Climate change in the Arctic - North Atlantic region and impacts on the UK").

In addition, I collaborate with the SNAP-DRAGON, WISHBONE, and ArctiCONNECT projects on the dynamics and climate impacts of the subpolar North Atlantic circulation and Arctic – mid-latitude linkages. I am also an active member of the international OSNAP ("Overturning in the Subpolar North Atlantic Program") group and the ASOF community on "Arctic-Subarctic Ocean Fluxes".

 

Past projects:

  • ACSIS project ("North Atlantic Climate System Integrated Study")
  • CLASS ("Climate Linked Atlantic Sector Science").

While I worked at GEOMAR - Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel, I contributed to large EU projects, including Blue Action, NACLIM, FixO3, SeaDataCloud, AtlantOS, and the German RACE project, which focused on North Atlantic climate variability or on managing ocean data.
