Curriculum Vitae:

Carmen Boening

Education
  • PhD, Physics and Engineering, University of Bremen, Germany (2009)
  • MSc Mathematics (Diplom Mathematik), Mathematics and Computer Science, University of Bremen, Germany (2005)

Research Interests
  • The role of the Southern Ocean in the climate system.
  • High latitude/low latitude teleconnections.
  • Ocean/atmosphere interactions.

Projects

GRACE Icon GRACE
GRACE, the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment, twin satellites launched in March 2002, are making detailed measurements of Earth's gravity field which will lead to discoveries about gravity and Earth's natural systems.

ECCO2 Icon ECCO2
ECCO2 is an ECCO-follow-on project that aims to produce increasingly accurate syntheses of all available global-scale ocean and sea-ice data at resolutions that start to resolve ocean eddies.
