Southern Ocean dynamics
What is the response to a changing climate?
WHAT I STUDY
Antarctic ice melt
It possesses 70% of Earth's freshwater and 90% of its ice.
Meridional overturning circulation
Densest water in Antarctica travels Atlantic, Indian, and Pacific.
Autonomy for efficient ocean monitoring
Utilization of profiling floats and gliders in the polar ocean.
Ocean mixing
Understanding the chaotic geophysical fluid.
Global carbon cycle
Antarctic krills are fundamental for the ocean biological pump.

I hope to bring a linkage between observation and modelling in the East Antarctic margin.https://t.co/ONNA4iuHR4
A favorite chapter in my PhD thesis is out from @JGROceans✨Eddy diffusivity k was derived from obs CTD using mixing length framework. We found eddy CDW flux nearly closes the coastal heat budget with solar heating, surface freezing, and ice basal melt.https://t.co/0u8UROksxX

A mighty Japanese ship potent of breaking multi-meter thick ice.
Flying over the Antarctic coast
Can you spot differences between sea ice and icebergs?

They are also a part of the ocean biological community.

Whales in the Southern Ocean
It's a paradise for the world's largest animal.
