My Publications (incl. Media and Outreach), Presentations, and Supervision/Teaching activities are detailed on separate pages.

In short, I investigate global deep waters, from the variability of their formation at high latitudes to their interaction with sea ice and floating glaciers. To do so, I combine global climate model output, remote sensing data, and in-situ measurements, including some that I or my group members collect at sea. I am currently the main supervisor of two PhD students, and host of two postdocs who each supervise one Master’s student.
