As a physical oceanographer, I aim to understand how ocean dynamics impact our climate. I have a penchant for the high-latitude oceans, atmosphere, and ice and a keen interest in understanding how scale interactions affect the dynamics of geophysical fluids. I also study planetary atmospheres. My research leverages a combination of in situ data, remote sensing observations as well as realistic and idealized numerical simulations.

I am a PhD student in physical oceanography. I study how icebergs affect fjord circulation both as sources of buoyancy and as mechanical barriers to flow. I’m also interested in the way that glacially-modified water exits fjords and participates in the large-scale overturning circulation. My research uses field observations from Sermilik fjord in combination with numerical modeling techniques.
