GEOG1290 Introduction to Physical Geography

My research focus lies on the polar oceans, their interactions with the cryosphere and climate. In particular, I use numerical models to understand how warming and increasing freshwater input to the polar and subpolar oceans (especially from melting land ice) can change their physical and biogeochemical characteristics. I am also fascinated by icebergs, their role in ocean dynamics and primary productivity, their patterns of drift, and how they can affect marine transportation and other offshore activities. I have specialized in iceberg modelling in the past few years and part of my scientific efforts are dedicated to improving the numerical representation of icebergs so we can better predict their environmental impacts and trajectories.
