About

I am an oceanographer working at the Geophysical Institute. I studied Meteorology in Hamburg. In my PhD, I studied the present and future drivers of Arctic sea-ice variability. I am interested in sea ice, polar oceanography, air-sea-ice interactions and large-scale climate variability in high latitudes.

Overturning circulation in the new Arctic

Arctic climate is rapidly changing, and it is currently not known how the Arctic overturning circulation is responding. ArMOC will provide comprehensive understanding of the entire Atlantic Water Boundary Current (AWBC)system around the Nordic Seas and the Arctic Ocean from observations, novel insights on Atlantic Water (AW) pathways and transformation within the Arctic Ocean and a first quantification using the approach of thermohaline stream functions.
