If we knew what it was we were doing, it would not be called research, would it?

Research Interests

Modeling the North Atlantic-Nordic Seas circulation
- Thermohaline circulation and its role in climate and climate variability
- Effect of topography on the steady-state wind- and buoyancy-driven circulation
- Ocean fresh water distribution, dense water formation and its connection with the large-scale circulation
- Modeling of arctic sea-ice processes and their interpretation in the context of climate change

Coupling physical and biogeochemical processes
- Influence of mesoscale and sub-mesoscale activity on the mean circulation
- Role of ocean dynamics on biogeochemical fluxes - on long time scales
- Effects of high resolution on primary production budgets

My research involves a combination of theory and numerical modeling, trying to incorporate data analysis whenever possible.

Curriculum Vitae






is an independent global campaigning organisation that acts to change attitudes and behaviour, to protect and conserve the environment and to promote peace by:
Catalysing an energy revolution to address the number one threat facing our planet: climate change.
Defending our oceans by challenging wasteful and destructive fishing, and creating a global network of marine reserves.
Working for disarmament and peace by tackling the causes of conflict and calling for the elimination of all nuclear weapons.
Creating a toxic free future with safer alternatives to hazardous chemicals in today's products and manufacturing.
Campaining for sustainable agriculture by rejecting genetically engineered organisms, protecting biodiversity and encouraging socially responsible farming.
Protecting the world’s ancient forests and the animals, plants and people that depend on them.
