Research

My research is mostly based in the North Atlantic Subpolar Gyre, investigating processes like dense water overflows, deep convection and boundary current – interior exchange. I am particularly interested in the relation between these processes and the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC).

I am a sea going oceanographer, though I often use models and theory to better understand these observations.
