My research interests

Shelf seas dynamics

Effect of regional proccesses (air-sea fluxes, tides, river outflow) on water mass transformation and flow patterns.
Imprint of large scale ocean and climate patterns on shelf seas.

Role of the ocean to the climate response to carbon emissions

Effect of different mechanisms: ocean statification, circulation and carbonate chemistry.
Variability and uncertainty amongst Earth system models.

Feedback mechanisms operating in the climate system and their effect in regulating climate change

Carbon cycle feedbacks, such as from changes in carbonate chemistry (i.e., acidification) and the ocean circulation.
Climate feedbacks, such as from changes in air-sea exchange and clouds.

Climate change impact in shelf seas

Effect of fine-scale shelf processes vs large-scale open ocean patterns in different shelf seas.
Emergence of environmental stressors for marine ecosystems: warming, acidification, hypoxia, nutrients availability.

Numerical modelling: shelf seas, opean ocean and climate
