Thesis Title

Lagrangian analysis of the time scale of the overturning circulation in an eddy-resolving model

Biography

Nicholas is interested in the application of Lagrangian particle tracking to the modelling of ocean currents, especially the thermohaline circulation, which constitutes the majority of water transport to and from the abyssal ocean and has a profound effect on the global climate.
