My research focuses on in situ observations and data analysis of physical and carbon system variables, with the aim to better understand ocean's role in climate by studying the linkages between ocean dynamics and the biogeochemical (carbon and nutrients) cycles.
I am specifically interested in the study of the spatial and temporal variability (seasonal to multidecadal) of the ocean state and its role as a carbon pump, and the underlying processes driving such variability. My current focus is on the North Atlantic, a key oceanic region for the storage of anthropogenic carbon. I aim to contribute to new and existing hydrographic databases (GO-SHIP, mooring-based, Argo) with novel observations that help improving model representation of the biogeochemical processes and future climate predictions.
