In March 2020, I joined GU as a SO-CHIC (Southern Ocean Carbon and Heat Impact on Climate) Postdoctoral Fellow. My research aims to understand what processes drive the variability of air-sea heat and carbon fluxes in the Southern Ocean. To do this, I use observations taken at the air-sea interface from autonomous robotic platforms and to try to simulate these using a process study ocean model.
