Stephanie is a sea-going physical oceanographer. She is interested in large-scale circulation and the ocean's role in the climate system and the inter-relationships between various components of the oceanic circulations at different times. She approaches her research both through observational & theoretical perspectives. She uses targeted field observations, observational data analysis, idealised process modeling, analytical analysis & lab studies. Her main aim is to overserve real-world systems, identify the important physical processes generating individual phenomena, and reduce their complexity to a model which is useful.

She’s specifically interested in: Arctic oceanography and the mixing of different types of waters in that ocean, southern ocean dynamics, the role of “eddy fluxes” in the western boundary and geophysical fluid dynamics.
