Stefanie Semper

I am a physical oceanographer working mostly with observations from high-latitude regions. My current research focuses on the climate system in the Nordic Seas and especially the Iceland Sea, which is a source region for dense water masses that spill over the Greenland-Scotland Ridge and contribute to the lower limb of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation. In particular, I investigate the structure and dynamics of the circulation system of dense overflow waters in the Iceland Sea.
