Julia Neme

Physical Oceanographer

PhD candidate at the University of New South Wales, Australia.

I am a physical oceanographer interested in large scale ocean dynamics and processes driving variability across different timescales. My main region of interest is the Southern Ocean and Antarctic margins, particularly in the context of climate change. I have worked with low and high resolution global ocean/sea models, atmospheric reanalysis data and CMIP6 model output. This has allowed me to develop advanced data analysis techniques and programming skills using high-performance computing systems. I have also brought into my work theoretical frameworks (e.g. a barotropic vorticity budget) to further study ocean dynamics.
