Dr. Severine Fournier is a research scientist in the Ocean Circulation and Air-Sea Interaction group at JPL. She currently studies linkages of the ocean with the Earth water cycle, including land-sea exchanges using principally satellite sea surface salinity and temperature, as well as altimetry, ocean currents and ocean color measurements.
She is a member of the NASA Ocean Salinity Science Team, a Deputy PI for the Arctic Salinity field campaign SASSIE, the Deputy Project Scientist for the Sentinel 6 Mike Freilich mission, and the Deputy Lead of the NASA Ocean Salinity Science Team.
She did her PhD at IFREMER, the French National Oceanographic Center on the relationship between sea surface salinity and optical properties in river plumes using satellite measurements. She joined JPL in 2015.
