Research area
- Physical oceanography
- Coastal dynamics; I’m focused on hydrodynamic behaviour in coastal areas and estuaries
Why is your research important?
Knowledge and understanding the behavior of water masses, circulation patterns, and vertical mixing in coastal areas is essential to understand the system as a whole.
What are your personal motivations? F
or an oceanographer like me, it’s a unique opportunity to study one of the most interesting regional seas in Europe. I want to share knowledge with other scientists, creating a synergy that leads to a comprehensive and multidisciplinary study.
What are you going to do during the cruise onboard r/v Oceanograf?
We are going to collect turbulence profiles to characterize the vertical mixing and water masses in the Norwegian coastal current.
It is essential to understand and define the different water masses located in this area, as well as to characterize the interactions between them.
