Research Interests<\/h3>\n

My research interests<\/em> concern predominantly the large-scale ocean circulation and its variability on a range of time scales, including those that are resolved by paleoclimate records such as sediment core records. I am also interested in the biogeochemical cycle of organic carbon and of particle-reactive substances in the deep sea.<\/p>\n

My research strategy<\/em> operates along two lines:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. I combine observations with models using inverse methods in order to address estimation problems in oceanography, paleoceanography, and chemical oceanography.<\/li>\n
  2. I apply numerical models in order to study fundamental aspects of ocean circulation and to test the plausibility of research hypotheses about its variability.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\tDownload CV\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t

    I am seeking a student to conduct numerical experiments of glacial meltwater discharge in the North Atlantic using an ocean circulation model based on the primitive equations. The novelty of this work is the use of a regional model at high horizontal resolution so as to simulate oceanic eddies and their influence on meltwater dispersal. This work will be part of NSF-funded projects on the pathways of melt water discharged from the Laurentide Ice Sheet during the last (de)glacial periods.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
