Stefanie is a Marie Curie Individual Fellow on the project ACES – Antarctic Cyclones: Expression in Sea-ice (Oct 2019 – Oct 2021). Prior to her arrival at BAS, she was a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Washington in Seattle, working on coupled ice sheet-ocean modelling.  Stefanie obtained her PhD in Physical Oceanography in 2017 from Old Dominion University.

1. Antarctic cyclones and sea ice movement

   ACES (Antarctic Cyclones: Expression in Sea-ice) addressed the issue of how sea ice cover in the Southern Ocean changes when a high intensity storm passes over the ice.
