I am a physical oceanographer interested in determining what sets the global characteristics of the ocean circulation. I am a Professor in Physical Oceanography at the University of Gothenburg since 2018. My research interests span the three mainstays of physical oceanography: observation, theory and modeling. Involved in research activities since 2004, my early work focused on the observation and study of the Southern Ocean. I am in particular involved in the development of animal-borne CTD tags, which are now a major source of data in Polar Oceans. I am also interested in the study of ocean thermodynamics and mixing and how they control the global overturning circulation.

My main research interests:

  •  Southern Ocean circulation

  •  Instrumented Elephant Seals gathering hydrographic data (MEOP, AniBOS)

  •  Ocean modelling (NEMO, MITgcm)

  •  Climate modelling (EC-Earth)

  •  Ocean thermodynamics (TEOS-10)

  •  Global overturning circulation and its drivers
