I am working on understanding how storms affect carbon in the Southern Ocean using model output.Ìý

Our team's project will enhance understanding of carbon-climate feedback in a rapidly changing, high-latitude region critical to the atmospheric CO2 concentration and help improve regional and global model projections. The team will examine interactions across a range of temporal scales (sub-daily to centennial) and spatial scales (mesoscale to basin-scale) that will facilitate understanding, quantification, and reduction of Southern Ocean carbon-climate feedback uncertainty.

Expert in Argo floats, Python programming, and much more.
