Experimental Oceanography

Experimental Oceanography

Institute of Oceanography

Universität Hamburg

The Experimental Oceanography group aims to advance our understanding of ocean dynamics and circulation in a changing climate. We are a seagoing group, specialising in physical oceanographic measurements and using approaches that leverage traditional observations with new platforms and satellite data. Using a range of observational platforms enables us to address problems spanning scales (from micro- to large-scale), and spanning spheres (from the ocean to biogeosphere, cryosphere and atmosphere). We are driven by scientific curiosity, and motivated by problems with the potential to address societal needs.

The Experimental Oceanography working group is led by Prof. Eleanor Frajka-Williams.

New DFG project: DS-MIXSED

The AEI-DFG DS-MIXSED project (Denmark Strait - Mixing and Sediment Dynamics) will be starting in 2025 with collaborators David Amblas, Anna Sanchez, Wilken-Jon von Appen and Lola Perez Hernandez. This is a 3-year project to study mixing in the Denmark Strait overflow waters downstream of Denmark Strait, and the influence of currents on seabed morphology (and vice versa). More information will be forthcoming in the new year.
