HOMEPAGE

This is it, an online collection of things I would like to share or keep others informed about. In case you want to reproduce or use anything from this site, drop me a note, use proper referencing (ask if you don't know how) and then spread it.

I will try to date everything I post, thus a statement about the earth being roughly a sphere that is about ok to say now might be wrong if future science should show that it is not, or vice versa. Corrections will be posted in here. ;-)

Areas of research interest:

• Freshwater signals/anomalies from seasonal to decadal time scales - topics to polar regions, but especially in the Labrador Sea region.
• SubAntarctic Mode Water (SAMW) - focusing on variability, extend and spreading/erosion of subducted parts of the SAMW.
• Oxygen Minimum Zones (OMZ), observational analysis of extent, variability and processes involved.

• General use Argo float data in oceanography.

General interest in descriptive observational oceanography and climate research, as well as outreach of new up-to-date general and specific oceanography and climate sciences to non scientific audience.

Current collection of worth reading articles / sites (Feb. 2010):

• http://www.copenhagendiagnosis.com/  is a nice summary of state of the art science about climate research. What do we know about our climate, what do models predict to come within the next years. A work I would like to see constantly changing and evolving and not only being published once - we will see about that.
  
• http://philip.greenspun.com/ a personal home page by - guess who - Philip Greenspun a computer scientist. Many well and not so well hidden, great blog entries found on this site. Covering, often humerous: science, computers, opinions on evolving science, life, internet ... not to mention numerous great photographs!
