The overarching objective of my research vision is to develop a modeling framework that brings together the physical, biogeochemical and ecological aspects required to gain a mechanistic understanding of the fundamental drivers determining the uncertainties in ocean ecosystem-carbon-climate projections. 

Since the start of the PhD, I have gained substantial experience in the study of the interactions between climate, ocean physics, ocean biogeochemistry and ocean ecosystems using models (e.g. GFDL ESM2M and NCAR CSM1.4-carbon), theory and observations. My research has led to numerous peer-reviewed publications, including studies published in Nature (and its offspring) and Science. 

A selection of my specific research interests and projects are summarized here:

NEEDS TO BE UPDATED (LAST UPDATE FEB 2015)

Southern Ocean heat and carbon uptake

Transient climate change and cumulative carbon emissions

Oxygen changes and ensemble modeling

Carbon Cycle response to volcanic eruptions

Changes in ocean ecosystems and fisheries
