Research Interests

Ocean mixing

Research on processes including boundary layer turbulence, internal-wave induced mixing, tide-topography interaction, and entrainment and mixing of overflows.

The ocean in the climate system

The ocean plays a fundamentally important role in the Earth's climate system by storing large amounts of heat, transporting heat from warm to cold regions, and releasing heat and moisture to the atmosphere. We study how the ocean interacts with other parts of the climate system – land, atmosphere,...

Anthropogenic Environmental Impacts

Polar Oceanography

Polar Oceans are of major importance because dense water is created here, and fills the basins of the World Oceans. The Geophysical Institute has long standing traditions both in Antarctic and Arctic waters.

Marine Ecosystems

The marine realm is a complex system where biological, physical and chemical processes interact in a number of direct and indirect ways. We aim for a deeper understanding and advancement of numerical modelling of these interactions and their consequences for the marine biosphere .
