Dominic Hillenkötter

Research Interests My research interests lie in the ocean, specifically how eddies dissipate their energy. Together with my supervisor Nils Brüggemann, I aim to comprehend the processes through which eddies dissipate their energy. Eddies play a crucial role in the general circulation by transporting tracers such as salt, nutrition, and heat. Understanding the energy dissipation processes of eddies is key to understand the bigger picture. I am utilising global eddy-resolving simulations to…

Antoine Leblond

Research Currently Postdoc in the team of Peter Korn. I am interested in the modelling, mathematical study, numerical analysis and implementation of coupled atmosphere-ocean models. During my PhD, I focused on the mathematical and numerical analysis of a reduced model for sedimenting fluids - namely the Stokes-transport equation.

Lara Wallberg

About me I am working at the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology in Hamburg, Germany, and am interested in extreme conditions occurring on longer time scales. In particular, I am interested in the driving mechanisms and predictability of heat extremes on sub-decadal time scales. My dissertation project focused on the sub-decadal variability of European summer heat extremes. In this work, I have not only found a mechnaism linking the accumulation of heat in the North Atlantic to extremely warm…
