Stefanie Semper

I am a physical oceanographer working mostly with observations from high latitudes. My current research focuses on water mass transformation through air-ice-sea interaction in the Nordic Seas and the Arctic Ocean. In particular, I'm interested in the transformation of Atlantic Water and the formation of dense water near the sea-ice edge, as well as in the pathways and dynamics of the boundary currents that supply the overflows across the Greenland-Scotland Ridge and thus the lower limb of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation.
