1- What was your area of study (atmospheric or oceanic sciences)? Could you describe in a听line or two your research/ area of interest while you were studying at UU直播?
My research in Bruno Tremblay鈥檚 group focused on sea ice variability, and more widely on climate. Sea ice observation dating back from 1850 were used to validate decadal variability of a global climate model (GCM). For more info, you can see
2- Looking back, what do you value most about your studies at AOS at UU直播?
I most value all the additional training that I was able to get from fieldwork, international conferences, summer courses, etc. I am also grateful for the autonomy that I had in choosing and conducting my research project.
3- How are you applying your degree in atmospheric & Oceanic Sciences from UU直播?
My degree helped me understand not only my own research project, but also how the Arctic ecosystem functions as a whole. This gives me a global understanding of the various research programs for which I coordinate expeditions on an icebreaker, and help me report back to the scientific community and funding agencies. All the soft skills that I developed during my degree are also very useful on a day-to-day basis!
4- What advice would you give to someone considering graduate studies in atmospheric or oceanic sciences at UU直播?
Do it! It鈥檚 a great department, the people are very welcoming and inclusive, and you will be able to work at your own rhythm. Once you start your degree, seize the opportunity of gaining additional training, attending a conference or getting involved in a student association. These are the experiences that you will value most in the future.
