Denis Volkov

Education

Ph.D., Physical Oceanography, Utrecht University, Netherlands (2004)
M.Sc., Hydrometeorology, Saint-Petersburg State University, Russia (1999)
B.Sc., Hydrometeorology, Saint-Petersburg State University, Russia (1997)

Research Interests

Analysis of ocean dynamics from meso- to large-scales using observations and models
Space-borne observations of sea level and ocean circulation
High-latitude ocean processes and their relation to climate variability

Projects

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.
