My research interest is developing and using coupled physical-biological models to study the interaction between physical ocean processes and the marine ecosystem on lower trophic levels.  Models are useful for studying these problems because they provide an understanding of the 3-dimensional dynamics involved. The models are applied to basic research and operationally in forecasts and reanalylsis for the Arctic through the Copernicus Marine Services. The application of the model is also being expanded to develop regional marine downscaling climate projections for the lower trophic levels of the marine ecosystem.
