current work

Hi,

I'm working as a Post-Doc in the Baltic Tracer Sea Project (BaTRE) studying the physical processes responsible for water mixing in the deeper Gotland Basin. I'm doing this by analysing the data acquired from the BaTRE project as well due to high resolution numerical modelling of the Central Baltic Sea.
