Om
I am a physical oceanographer at the Geophysical Institute at the University of Bergen. My primary research interests are centered around the northern extremity of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation. In particular, I am interested in the pathways and processes through which the warm Atlantic inflow into the Nordic Seas is transformed into dense overflow waters.

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.
