About
I am a PhD student in the physical oceanography group at GFI as part of the ROVER project (Resilient northern Overturning). I am originally from Florence, Italy, but I did my university education in The Netherlands, where I completed my master's in Marine Science at Utrecht University. For my PhD project, I am researching water mass transformation in the Nordic Seas, especially along the East Greenland Current with the retreating ice edge of this region due to a warmer climate.
Selected projects
Resilient northern overturning in a warming climate
In ROVER the researchers will observe the deep-water formation along east Greenland, both through a winter expedition on an icebreaker, using mooring across the Greenland slope, and autonomous underwater gliders. The measurement campaign will provide groundbreaking data, cruical for the understanding of the processes that supply cold, deep water to the lower limb of the AMOC.
