Brief Biographical Sketch:
I am a Ph.D. student studying physical oceanography in the department of Geology & Geophysics at Yale University. My primary research focuses on the dynamics and thermodynamics of the Arctic Ocean, in particular, I examine the processes responsible for ocean heat transport. I love travelling and learning about different cultures, to date I visited 34 states and 26 countries across the world and eager to learn more about the world around us! Past Classes(Clicking a class title will bring you to the course's section of the corresponding course catalog)S2883: Dive and Discover: How Do Deep Ocean Waters form? in Splash Fall 17 (Nov. 11, 2017)
This class is a broad overview of the deep ocean circulation. By the end of this class, students will become familiar with the concept of density and will get an idea of how ocean currents work. Through hands-on laboratory experiments students will examine the effect temperature and salinity have on the density of water and how differences in the density of water can cause currents to form and move.
