Shenjie Zhou
Physical Oceanographer
Biography
I am a physical oceanographer with strong interests in understanding the role of ocean in regulating the behavior of broader climate systems. I obtained my PhD in 2020 at University of East Anglia, working on The Ocean Response to Stochastic Atmospheric Forcing, inspried by growing recognition of the accumulative ocean response to high-frequency/small-scale atmospheric fluctuation. I joined BAS 2020 as a PDRA affiliated with SO-CHIC project (Southern Ocean-Carbon and Heat Impact on Climate) as part of European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme. I have also been working in collaboration with ORCHESTRA-ENCORE , SO-WISE, SO-ICE project, looking at the ocean-atmosphere-ice interaction in Southern Weddell Sea and Weddell gyre dynamics. Now I am part of the OCEAN ICE project.
Research interests
