My research focuses on understanding how the waters that originate from Greenland and the Arctic circulate in the Subpolar North Atlantic. The fate of these relatively fresh waters is particularly important: if they enter the deep convection regions of the Labrador, Irminger and Nordic Seas, they could increase the stratification in these regions. This could lead to a weakening of deep water formation and potentially affect the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation.

For this work, I primarily use in situ observations, in particular surface drifters, which are instruments that follow surface currents.
