Fields of interest: My research is directed at the ocean's stratification, circulation and mixing and its role in Earth's climate system.
I am a field-going physical oceanographer, an observationalist. My research is directed at the ocean's stratification, circulation and mixing and its role in Earth's climate system. I study the transfer of heat and freshwater within the ocean and between the ocean, cryosphere and atmosphere.
