Team members Ali Siddiqui and Tom Haine have co-authored a paper entitled “Interactions between the Arctic Mediterranean and the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation: A Review.” The paper appears in a special issue of Oceanography on The New Arctic Ocean.
Dr. Renske Gelderloos has published a paper on “Subinertial variability in four Southeast Greenland fjords in realistic numerical simulations.” The paper appears in the Journal of Geophysical Research (Oceans). And see this Research Spotlight in Eos!
Joan Bonilla Pagan has started his PhD in our program working on physical oceanography. Joan holds a Bachelor’s degree in Physics and Applied Math from the University of Puerto Rico at Mayaguez, and a Master’s degree in Oceanography from the University of Southampton, UK. He joins our group from a position as an oceanographic and...
Tom gave a Bjerknes seminar at the University of Bergen. He’s been a Bjerknes Fellow in 2022 and visiting wonderful Bergen. The talk’s title was: “Denmark Strait Overflow: The Greatest Waterfall you’ve Never Heard of”
Atousa Saberi has been awarded her PhD in Earth & Planetary Sciences. Atousa’s thesis title is “Kinematics and dynamics of oceanic overflows: Application to the Denmark Strait and Faroe Bank Channel.” A link to the pdf of her thesis is here (or will be available soon). Atousa is beginning a postdoc fellowship at NASA Goddard...
Notes from E&PS Fluids II (Spring 2021 version) are now available. The notes cover theory of rotating shallow water systems, inertia gravity waves, and geostrophic adjustment. They include detailed theoretical solutions to adjustment in various geometries. They also include software (MATLAB, Julia) to check the solutions and compute numerical solutions in complex geometries. Several examples...

Tom has given a colloquium entitled “It is by the deep hidden currents that the oceans are made one” at the Goddard Scientific Colloquium. The talk title is a quote from Rachel Carson’s book Silent Spring.
Atousa Saberi has successfully presented her PhD thesis entitled “Kinematics and Dynamics of Oceanic Overflows: Application to the Denmark Strait and Faroe Bank Channel”. Well done Atousa! Here’s her Thesis Abstract: An important mechanism in redistribution of heat and salt in the ocean is known as global meridional overturning circulation. Oceanic overflows contribute to the...
Tom has given a talk on “Oceans, Atmospheres, and Climates” to the Natural History Society of Maryland. See this link.
