Project: Detecting Rapid Changes and Tipping Points in the Abyssal Ocean Circulation
Supervisors: Alberto Naveira Garabato, Alessandro Silvano, Chao Zheng
Project Description:
The abyssal ocean circulation is key to Earth’s climate. Numerical models suggest that the circulation is slowing down dramatically. However, no approach exists to observe the circulation’s variability. This project will develop and apply the first approach to detect changes in the abyssal circulation from oceanic variables measurable from satellites.
