As a physical oceanographer, I aim to understand how ocean dynamics impact our climate. I have a penchant for the high-latitudes 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 toflow. 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.

I am a PhD student in Applied Ocean Sciences. I am interested in how small-scale dynamics contribute to heat fluxes between the ocean and atmosphere, how they can be estimated from combining satellite observations, models, and in situ data, and eventually what their impact is on larger-scale weather and climate. My current area of study is the Southern Ocean, which I investigate using a coupled, high resolution ocean-atmosphere simulation ran at NASA/JPL.

With my research, I seek to better understand and constrain the role of the ocean in the global carbon cycle. I am broadly interested in how mesoscale and submesoscale dynamics, particularly in the Southern Ocean, affect the efficiency with which carbon dioxide can be transferred from the atmosphere to the deep ocean. I approach these questions by using in situ observations from autonomous vehicles and numerical models to study interactions between ocean physics and biogeochemistry. Outside of work, I engage high school students with the wonderful world of climate science through outreach in Providence Public Schools.
