APECS Physical Oceanography Discipline Coordinator

National Oceanography Centre, UK

I am a physical oceanographer working on the Southern Ocean. I am doing my postdoc at the National Oceanography Centre, Southampton, UK. The main topic of my postdoc is the export of bottom water in the Weddell Sea and its role in the global overturning circulation. I have a background in marine environmental sciences that I did in Marseille, France, my home town. I did my PhD at the university of East Anglia, Norwich about the connection between the Southern Ocean and the subtropical gyre in the South Atlantic. Among others, I am especially interested in water mass formation and transformation at high latitudes and what they can tell us about the climate variability.
