Sea level contribution of the Antarctic Ice Sheet with improved representation of grounding zone dynamics and ocean conditions

The primary interest of my research is to improve our understanding of the past, present, and future state of the Southern Ocean and identify triggers of ocean warming and Antarctic ice loss on various time scales by (a) conducting oceanographic observations, (b) improving ocean simulations achieving high model-data agreement, and (c) developing ice-ocean coupled simulations.
