Biography

I’m interested in new approaches to understand the behavior of the ocean. Previously, I’ve studied mesoscale eddies in the Caribbean Sea using observations and ocean models. I also estimated the role of double-diffusive mixing in the global ocean by analyzing thermohaline staircases in Argo float profiles. Currently, I look at the response of the Greenland ice sheet to the variability of the ocean, using sea surface height data around the Greenland shelf and relate its variability to the hydrographic and atmospheric variability in the region.
