Welcome to my website!
I am a Postdoctoral Research Fellow (Swiss National Science Foundation,
Project 175162)
studying the impact of changing freshwater fluxes and ocean stratification
on the ability of the Southern Ocean to take up carbon-dioxid and heat in future. Gaining a robust understanding of this process and the related
uncertainties is directly relevant to constraining future global climate change, allowable carbon-dioxide emissions for a given temperature target,
and related sea level rise.
This work is carried out at Princeton University
and the British Antarctic Survey
in collaboration with Prof. Dr. Jorge Sarmiento
and Prof. Dr. Michael Meredith.
