Om

I am an ocean glider engineer in NorGliders (the Norwegian National Facility for Ocean Gliders), which operates a fleet of 11 underwater autonomous gliders. My work involves technical tasks and research related to our glider activity.

My research focuses on the northern limb of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation and the Nordic Seas climate system. In particular, I am interested in the pathways and processes transforming warm Atlantic Water flowing into the Nordic Seas into dense overflow waters.
