Research interests:
I am mainly working on basin-scale ocean circulation and air-sea interaction in the Arctic-Atlantic region, and how variable ocean circulation on interannual to multidecadal time scales impacts climate variability. I am currently leading a project (ArMOC) where we want to understand how ocean circulation in the Arctic could change in a warming climate.

Future strengthening of the Nordic Seas overturning circulation stabilizes AMOC
25.05.2023, 14:12
In contrast to the North Atlantic, a new study in Nature Communications shows that the overturning circulation in the Nordic Seas strengthens toward the end of the century. The overturning circulation in the Nordic Seas could therefore be a stabilizing factor in a weakening AMOC.
