Postgraduate Project Opportunities
The PhD projects I propose usually stem from my current research interests and focus mainly on processes that drive fluxes of heat, freshwater and momentum within the polar ocean and between the ocean, cryosphere and atmosphere.Ìý Past students have studied how tidal forcing drives vertical fluxes of heat from Upper Circumpolar Deep Water into the surrounding colder fresher Antarctic-source waters along the Antarctic Peninsular continental slope, as welll as how warm Atlantic Water is contributing to sea ice loss in the Arctic Barents Sea.Ìý I have also supervised projects studying wind-driven mixing at the base of the open ocean mixed-layer and the role of wind-forcing in driving Arctic mixing.Ìý
