Personal Statement

I am a physical oceanographer and ocean biogeochemical modeller intrigued by the mechanisms through which the ocean can alter Earth's climate and atmospheric CO2 concentration both in the past and under future anthropogenic changes. I mostly use global coarse resolution numerical models of ocean circulation coupled to simplified biogeochemistry routines, but I also exploit composite tracers to reveal how different components of carbon and nutrient cycles operate.
